Vacation in Colorado

Warning... there are LOTS of pictures from this trip. We had a great time in Colorado. We drove from Oklahoma City to Laverne Friday afternoon and then loaded up with Kenton's parents and drove about 4 more hours so the 2nd day wouldn't be quite as long.

Ashley taking a break from packing for the trip in Molly's dogbed (which she does not sleep in).
Looking at the cool little stream by the Outlet Mall in Dillon, CO. They had some great shops and we (I) really enjoyed shopping there for a couple of hours. We stayed in Dillon for 3 nights. Randy and Kenton golfed one morning and the golf course was really beautiful.
Connor posing with the Forrest Gump shoes and box of chocolates at Bubba Gumps in Breckenridge.


Papa and Connor checking out the horses. This was after we went to this really neat toy shop and Connor talked his Dad into getting him a horse trailer with a matching truck. He played with it most evenings on our trip.


After Dillon, CO we drove about an hour and a half up (I think) to Denver and met the rest of the Owens' clan at the Denver Zoo. The soo was really nice and we all had a great time.


















Hugging... this was before Ashley got tired of Connor hugging her and she probably pinched him which is her new thing. Not quite sure how to get her to stop that one yet....



Connor and his cousin Makenzie; they have a great time together and it is really neat to watch them.







The cousins... Gentry, Connor, Ashley and Makenzie.



Ashley enjoying the zoo; this was one of the only times that she had her hat on. :)



After the Zoo in Denver we all drove down (again, I think) to Colorado Springs. When we got to our room, Connor looked in the nightstand and found the Bible. He proceeded to get it out and "read" several verses. I thought that it was so cute.

Dinner at Chili's; had to document that all of the kids were sitting with the two dads - Nathan and Kenton. I had an enjoyable dinner since Ashley was sitting by her dad.



The Owens' clan at Santa Claus Land.


Papa and Ashley riding the cars. We discovered that Ashley was quite a little dare-devil and LOVED to ride the rides with Connor. He was so sweet and would usually put his arm around her.


Makenzie and Connor cruising around.



Ashley's first ride with Connor, the airplanes.





This is the "North Pole" and reminds me of the inside of a freezer. Ashley was quite taken by this as she didn't really remember it from last year since she was only 3 months old.

Connor and Ashley with Santa... as you can tell, Ashley really didn't enjoy herself. Connor however was not shy and told Santa exactly what he wanted for Christmas which I believe was, some reindeer and some wood (to build Molly a doghouse at our new house).
Getting some tatoos.

Again... with the rides.

















Right before we left; Connor decided that he wanted to drive the cars by himself and did a great job!
