Road trip out west!

We've been a little busy this past month and I've been terrible updating the blog.

Here are some pictures from our road trip out west. We packed up Jensen and Bailey, put on our new car top carrier and headed to Denver by way of St. Louis and KC! We had great visits with friends along the way, entertained Jensen with his They Might Be Giants DVD and ate at McDonald's way too many times. We spent a few days in Denver and rented a house in Grand Lake for 4 days where we spent time hiking, walking around the little town, hanging out in our house, watching moose, eating great food and of course the guys went fishing everyday!

We had the BEST time and both Jensen & Bailey did really well for a total of about 45 hours in the car. Believe it or not, we'd do it again!

Jensen was practicing his walking skills at Jon & Cathy's house in Boulder

Peek-a-boo from the loft in Grand Lake. Jensen could have played this game all day!

A beautiful backdrop for breakfast every morning

Reunion of "A Little Wisdom on the Side of the Road"...Well, kind of!

A little beach time with Aunt Molly in Grand Lake



Jensen had a long day at the beach:)

Our entertainment for the week!
He had us all cracking up on the 4th of July when he decided to turn on
more "patriotic" music....and then turned it up and up!

A little stretch & play break in Goodland, CO...Almost there!

Getting Jensen strapped in to his carseat in our driveway on day #1.
We thought we were really in trouble if the whole trip was like this!
Thankfully it got much better!

Our 4 mile hike lead us to this river.
We enjoyed sitting by the water and the dogs couldn't get in enough playtime!

Jensen's first steps on a hike

Our first night in Grand Lake - Pizza for dinner with Grandma & Grandpa Swanee.
According to Jensen, "Mmmmmm!"
