We took a impromptu trip to Colorado visit Great Grandma Rex and Aunty Bonnie and family. Tyler was very excited to ride the plane. We flew out the morning of Saturday (May 7) and got in late afternoon.
Tyler and Emily did well on the plane. Mommy had her real experience nursing Emily in public and Tyler had his first experience with nausea. Poor kiddo ... got sick from the turbulence and had to use the "barf" bag.
In Colorado our first stop was to visit Great Grandma. She was very happy to see all of us, but extremely happy to see her great grand kids. She had visited with Tyler as a newborn, but this was the first time seeing Emily in person. We stayed for a while ... chatted about the kids, took some pictures, and then let her get some rest.
At Aunty Bonnie's house, Tyler opened up and acted just like he was at home. LOUD and overly energetic. We hung out, had dinner, then called it a night. It was a long day and the kids were pooped. Tyler camped on the ground next the the bed and Emily slept between her mommy and daddy. Such a little girl ... was a GIANT bed hogger.
The next morning, we had some breakfast before heading back to visit Great Grandma. It was mother's day and a special one for all spending it with family. We chatted more and then went to get some lunch. We found a pretty fancy steak place in downtown Loveland and had quite a meal. After lunch we made another stop to visit Great Grandma before heading back to Aunty Bonnie's house. Back at the house, it was another relaxing evening of food and chatter. Tyler and Emily were all the entertainment we needed.
On Monday, we had a special plan for Great Grandma. We visited first thing to take a few more pictures. Then after lunch we went to Target to print out the pictures and put together a little mini picture album. Now Great Grandma would have pictures of her and her great grand kids. :)
When we went back to drop it off, she had just had some medication and was resting, so we left the book for her to look at later. Back in Fort Collins, we visited Aunty Pat's house. Tyler had fun playing foos ball and basketball. It was our last night in Colorado and a fun one at that. We had pizza at Aunty Bonnie's then had to call it a night.
We didn't get to do much the following morning. Pack, breakfast ... and then head to the airport. Our trip was a short one, but one that was very special. We returned to San Jose on Tues (May 10).
