Colorado

After Christmas we took Makayla on her first airplane ride to Colorado. We went over to visit Caleb's Dad and Stepmother. I was scared to death to fly with Makayla. I already panic when it comes to just me flying so having to be responsible for her too was not fun. How did Makayla do you might ask, she did pretty darn good. She only fussed a little bit and then played the entire way over and slept on the way home. The flight home was late at night and not many people were on board so we got to take the car seat on without paying for a seat and she slept in that most of the way home.

While in Colorado we got to see some of Caleb's other family members that live there and that were just visiting. It was a lot of fun to see everyone. We had a great time so thanks to everyone in Colorado Springs for making it a great trip!

On one of the days that we were there we went to Garden of the Gods, it is an area that has red rock formations. It was really pretty and only my second time there. We took some fun family pictures while there thanks to Stephanie.

Here are two of many that we took.

After Garden of the Gods we headed over to Manitou Springs, it is a little town that you walk around and there are shops that you can go into. Caleb was lucky that it was late and most of them were closing or he would have been in trouble with me. I love these little towns.

While we were there we found this little area for kids that had arcade games and little rides. We thought it would be fun for Makayla to ride some of the rides. Here she is riding a pink elephant. It was a little bit rougher than we expected, but Makayla didn't seem to notice at all she loved it. I had to hold on to her so that it wouldn't buck her off.

Here she is flying a plane. It was a lot more calm than the other one.

Here she riding in the train. Caleb said this one was boring, and I would have to agree with that. She didn't like it much because there was nothing for her to hold on to, but she still looks so cute on it.

This is my favorite one of all, here she is driving the Batmobile!! Isn't she so darn cute! She loved this one because she got to hold on to the steering wheel.

After riding all those rides it was about time to leave and this is what happened as we headed back to the car. Boy was she tired!

We had a great time in Colorado Springs. On our last day there we went to Denver and spent the day with my Uncle and his family. We played the Wii and went to a movie. It was Makayla's first movie too and she did pretty good with that too. Thanks Uncle Mike, Aunt Stacey, and Shayla for a great day!
