Colorado

We are back from a wonderful trip to the mountains! So many stories to tell, here are some pictures!

The first morning we went to a local coffee shop by day and bar/club by night called Loaded Joes. Daisy enjoyed her morning coffee by the beautiful mountains.
Walking around Vail Village, unfortunately I didn't see anyone famous. Not even Trista and Ryan!!

Uncle Steven and Daisy hanging out while Nana and Mommy look for souvenirs.
Getting ready to go up the gondola.
Going up.....
Starting to notice some clouds forming (to the left)....

Quickly taking a picture at the top while a storm is brewing....we were rushed because we didn't want to get stuck at the top! (they shut down the gondola in rain!!!)
SCARY ride down!!!!! Wind in a Gondola!!!! Thank goodness it wasn't Oklahoma wind!
The next day uncle Steven and I go white water rafting and Daisy and Nana stay home! So many hilarious stories to tell from this day.....for one, lets just say this is the only picture in which I am visible.....I spent most of my time going down the rapids falling inside the boat!!!
After rafting, we took Daisy to a local hotel that was having a free pool party! Daisy loves to swim!
The next day we went to the Farmers Market in Vail Village. Over 110 booths of food, art, and boutique goodies....too bad I wasn't feeling well that day! Daisy and her balloon!
The train ride through the village.

The river through the village.
Uncle Stevie and Nana took daisy to the park while mommy tried to nap.....Daisy loves to swing!

Trying on the hiking backpack!!! She really loved this thing!
Preparing for hiking to hanging lake. We had no idea!!!!
Starting the hike. Uncle Stevie told us this was an EASY trail!
Not sure if this picture quite grasps what the trail was like, but you can kind of see the steep upgrade and giant rocks we had to climb around!
It was a beautiful, but long 1.2 mile hike up!
Steven estimated that it would take us 1 1/2 hours round trip.....2 1/2 hours we are finally at the 1 mile marker!!!
Daisy was having too much fun!
Finally the TOP!!!!! Spouting rock.
Hanging lake!

It was a fun trip, and we are happy to be home! Hope everyone else is doing well.
