Road Trip!

The kids and I set out on a multiple destination road trip in early June!  Everything went so well and was definitely a success!  It may have to be an annual trip from now on!

Ready to Rock!

 Our first stop was Laramie.  Gabi attended the University of Wyoming Basketball Camp from 10-4 for three days.  She had a blast and learned so much. Her favorite part was spending the day with many of the UW Men's team players.  She walked away with a slingpack full of their autographs.  It will be fun to watch them play this winter.  I wish I would have taken more pictures, but this is the only one I got at the end of one of the days.

While Gabi was at camp on the the first day, I took Jacob and Maya to meet my Mom in Ft. Collins for the day.  We had great plans of shopping, but shortly realized that five year old boys and quaint little shops don't go together.  We let him get soaked in the splash pad instead and everyone had more fun that way!  :)  We also had a fun lunch at a new restaurant in Old Town Ft. Collins.

 

Maya was able to stay with my Mom & Dad for the next couple days. They had lots of fun hanging out and riding bikes!

On a long bike ride...almost 20 miles!

A big breakfast of cinnamon roll French toast after the bike ride!

Jacob and I returned to Laramie and explored many of the town's parks and fun spots!  It was fun spending time with just Jacob and celebrating summer!

We left Laramie on Wednesday afternoon and headed for a quick night at my Mom & Dad's house before we headed to Lincoln!  My Mom came with us for the 8 hour journey East on Thursday.  We stayed at my Grandma Dot's house.  It was really good to spend time with her.  On Friday, we met my cousin and her cute little boy, Colton, at the Lincoln Children's Museum.  What a fun place!  Jacob especially had a blast.  We literally could have spent an entire day there.

Driving in the tractor!

Gabi's almost as tall as Grandma Dot!

 On  Saturday, we left Lincoln really early and headed to Denver!  The girls' softball team was invited to participate in a parade around Coors Field ahead of a Rockies Game!  So...we met my Dad and Joe in Denver (Joe had been in Golden for company meetings) and enjoyed the game.

Other baseball teams from Buffalo participated in the parade as well...including some KL&A friends.  It was fun to watch the game with them.
