Colorado!

Yes, I braved the 8 1/2 hour (10 with kids), ALONE, without Dad (he was in Arizona for a conference), drive to Colorado to visit our best friends from dental school, the Bentleys, and my cousin Luke Lee's family.

AND... it was SO worth it!

Here we were at a Sonic playland for a pit-stop. It was COLD, but the boys saw it from the car and couldn't resist. On the way home there was an amazing playland at McDonald's too!

You know you have great friends, when within seconds of seeing each other, your kids are attached at the hip again. Dirk and Cooper are just a month apart, and Coby and Gunner are 2-months apart. They had way too much fun destroying the toy room each day. :)

Beckett met a new best friend too... Olivia. He is 10-months, she is 18 months, and I can already tell he likes older girls! :)

When we showed up, Dirk and Linds had already compiled our list of "funs things to do" while we were there.... little did they know, Cooper was determined to do EVERYTHING on the list! :) We had non-stop fun!
Poor Beckett got his first ever flu our last few days there. Hence the bath in the sink after breakfast didn't settle well. :(

Linds and I just talked and talked... stayed up late... and whined about how much we miss being neighbors. :) I feel so lucky to have a friend that I can go that long without seeing, and when we get together again, it's just like old times! So fun to see their AMAZING house again too, and all the cute decorating she's done! Last time we were there, Olivia was still in the belly, and they hadn't been in their house long.

We also were able to spend a day at Luke's house. I had fun visiting with Janna while the boys played and played! Then we hit Chick-Fil-A for dinner, and had brownies for dessert. It was so fun to see them and their cute house they've been working so hard on.
