As a family with two little boys we said good bye to our family, friends, playgroup, beaches, playgrounds and everything we held dear for a two year adventure. Destination: Denver, Colorado. What did we know about it? John Denver liked it around here didnt he?

Toddlers embrace a new world with the wonder, enthusiasm and passion. Charlie said to me the other day. "Mum I just learnt about fall, its like autumn... but do pumpkins fall from the sky in fall?" I want to look at this adventure with the same sense of fun. So this is my attempt....

A beach in Colorado

                          
We went off on an adventure to feel the sand beneath our toes...
 Having a picnic dinner somewhere on the way..

 Here we are sand dunes and snow capped mountain in one shot.


 Woohoo feels good.

Heart Cake

Andy's Birthday took us by surprise but we had time to make him a carefully chosen "Heart Cake with Raspberries"
 

I made this picture for our room .....

He took a long time to come home from work.....

Things I learnt Camping


I'm not a natural camper, but have discovered that any activity in the beautiful mountains where all my boys are happy is worth pursuing! Here are some things I learn't camping this year:

Friends Double the Fun

 Sometime it snows...
 Whiskey is essential

 Take any tent you can borrow even if it sleeps 10!
  
 Rivers are fun...but a lot of work!

Two...even three desserts if fine!

Pickles Come to Town

The Pickles are coming! 9 days.....3 toddlers...1 baby.....A taste of Colorado in between nap times...A very happy challenge..

Icy-poles help cement friendships

Lots of Laughs
 
 TV before bed essential

 Sophies 1st Snow
 Lots of walks
Lots of Smiles
