Colorado Trip - Part 2 - Highlands Ranch

so...being back now...i am realizing how spoiled i am...having only ever lived in socal my whole life...and getting to visit the pretty snow, and then LEAVE it!

especially with kids...how do you guys do it?

we could not stay in doors all winter or else people would get harmed....and lose hair...maybe both.

but there are also drawbacks to living in a season-less place.

there is such a beauty and rhythm of the changing seasons. they mark your year and years and time.

the snow is also a blanket of silence. a very welcomed blanket i am sure.

in many ways i am jealous of you guys who experience seasons...and then in other ways i envision piles of snow on my driveway that need to be shoveled and 2 hours of getting the boys in snow clothes every day and i change my mind a little.

i like the thought of snow....lets put it that way, shall we?

this is the scenery behind my mom and howard's house in Highlands Ranch - we took a couple of lovely strolls when we were visiting with them. It started snowing on us the first day and on our walk home it was getting dark and people were putting up Christmas lights and it was so nice and winter-y - i am so glad my  boys got some snow experience this year!

on our second walk we attempted a geocaching adventure but the cache was most likely lost in an excavation, but it sparked a new hobby for us!









this picture makes me laugh because bodie was really hanging on to me. and that is bobby i am carrying...and bryson has started to really become clingy too...i feel like a magnet these days.








we had a very full time - full of fun and adventure and new experiences and very little sleep! but we loved spending time with mor mor and papa howard and can't wait to go in the summertime so we can catch us some fish!
