CO - DAY 3 HORSE RIDE

8.21.09

After hiking we got to go horseback riding!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I loved it :)

Dad & I rode together. Our horses name was Bam Bam...

That is Mom - her horses name was Curley.

What a fun day!!!!!

After horseback riding we started down the mountains - so we could get a few hours down the road. We got to see some Big Horn Sheep on the drive - can you find them?

There is Joe - heading home. It was a fun trip :)

CO - DAY 2 TAKE A HIKE

8.20.09

Thought we would try to go on a little hike today - we ended up going 6 miles & climbed 1,080 ft.

I found the PERFECT walking stick - it made it all the way up the mountain & back to IA :)

Hitchin' a ride....

I walked a little.....

We made to the top - it was worth it!!!! & I didn't fall off Gramp Ervin :)

Having a snack before heading back down - I made some friends :)

Mom & I drove up to Fort Collins to see the Budweiser horses...

CO - DAY 1 CORN

8.19.09

Mom & I dropped Dad off at the Pioneer research plot. I had to check out the corn!!!

If you look closely you can see the mountains in the distance. Wouldn't that be cool to have the mountains that close back home :)

8.18.09

We are off!! Headed to CO for a couple of days - Dad has to go to a research plot near Loveland. Since he will be sooo close to the mountains my folks thought we better go for a few days :)

It only took 11 hours to get out there!! They kept saying we were going to see the mountains - I started asking "Is that a mountain?" at Gillett Grove :)

Since Mom & Dad said I did so well on the drive we got to go to Chucky Cheese!!!!!!!!!!!

My first Chucky experience was awesome!!!

AQUATIC CENTER

8.9.09

The Claborn's came down for the weekend!!! Dad & Shannon went to help a friend at a gun show - so we got to go to the Aquatic Center in Spencer for the day instead. It was AWESOME!!! What a perfect day for a swim :)
