Colorado Visit

We had such a great time visiting with our family in Colorado! We took another hop, this time on a C-17 and it was first class compared to the KC-135. Athen had a lot of fun with all of his friends on the flight. I think half of the people on the flight were 5 and under! Once we were in the air the kids were allowed to run around, so they had a ton of fun checking out everything on the plane. One of the pilots is a friend of ours and let Athen sit on his lap while he was flying, so cool! When we landed they lowered the back part of the plane, Athen called it the tailgate, while we taxied. It was so neat looking out of the back of the plane and seeing the mountains!



Once we landed in Colorado we got to spend time with the cousins. Both Athen and Maximo had so much fun playing with Ashlyn and Emmy! They also got to go to this really cool indoor playplace that had huge trampolines. They had a blast!



One of the highlights of the trip was getting to drive a 1931 Model A Ford pickup truck. Both Matt and I took it for a cruise around the block. It was so neat and by far the oldest car I have ever driven. It even had the original engine in it. Athen loved that it had whitewall tires, he's still talking about it. Although he is still a loyal "Chevrolet guy."




We sure do miss Grandma and Grandpa! Athen and Maximo loved spending so much time with them and getting all of the cool puzzles and cars. They were so tired by the time we got on the plane, here are the little guys tuckered out!

We can't wait for Grandma and Grandpa to visit us Oklahoma in a few weeks!
