Colorado Wrap-Up: Cliff Jumping

We continued our Colorado fun with more time outside.

We all went to the cliffs and had a blast in the water.

We set up a nice shady spot before getting in the chilly water

Colorado is so very beautiful

Daniel and GrandCracker jumped off the cliff and came down to splash us

Alexander loved watching them.  I am sure he will be jumping as soon as he is able to stand.


For our last day, we went for a hike.

As with the caves and the cliffs, the weather was absolutely perfect for us.

Again, the guys headed up for an adventure.  Even Jake climbed to the highest height, and then got scared to come down.  He made it down on his own, though.  He is so like Zoey I cannot believe it!  We were very sad that she wasn't with us.  She and Jake were best buds the last time they were together.

That night, Steve, Sherry, and Daniel headed out to Cripple Creek to have some fun gambling.  Sherry was the big winner, rolling snake eyes with a dollar on it!  A thirty dollar roll!  She also won at Black Jack, coming home with an extra $50 in her pocket!

The trip home was not near as smooth as the trip out.  We took off at 6am, so we were all pretty tired when boarding the plane.
Xander was fine during takeoff and landing, but Psycho Pig paid a visit during the middle of the three hour flight from Colorado to Atlanta.  We were trying everything we could in our seat to calm him down, but nothing was working for more than a minute.  It got so bad, one of the flight attendants came and asked if she could try walking him up and down the aisle.  As SOON as he was out of the seat, he was quiet!  I proceeded to walk him up and down the aisle, knocking into people's legs and crowding the bathroom area, for the duration of the flight.  Each time I tried to hand him over to Daniel in the seat, the screaming would commence.  It was terrible, but everyone on the plane was so sweet about it.  I think they understood we were doing all we could (and most everyone had headphones-smart!).  Thank God he did great on the short flight from Atlanta to home.

Colorado was a trip to remember, and one to repeat.  Hopefully we'll be able to go back soon!
