Thanksgiving in Colorado!

We spent Thanksgiving 2012 at Jon and Clare's home in Monument, CO. Beautiful weather had us spending most of the days outside. It was about 65-70 degrees everyday. There is a great park just blocks away from their house so we were able to go to the park everyday! The boys loved spending so much time outside. Austin made a new friend at the park and also made friends with Gino, Jon's 8-year-old next door neighbor. He spent time playing in Gino's yard one afternoon as well. While at the park, Colton befreinded someone who had a dog and although I wasn't there to witness this, I am told he held the leash and walked the dog around the entire park three times. He was very proud of himself and has proved to be a true animal lover. He spent a lot of time also following Jon and Clare's cat around the house!

Jon and the boys also wrestled every day. Austin was constantly asking Jon to wrestle and of course Uncle Jon loved rolling around on the floor with his two little nephews. Jon even had Clare's brother, Clay, wrestling with them one night.

Colton wanted to be as close to the kitty cat as possible! He loved laying right by her and asking how she was doing. Austin also had a few good conversations with Phoebe. She was a good sport, who played hard to get but ultimately was loving the attention she was getting from both boys.

 And we can't forget about Reggie! Here Colton has put his little blue puppy dog in Reggie's kennel then he followed Reggie around telling her "Go, go", until Regging would 'go' into her kennel. After the puppies were in, Colton would climb in also!

It was a wonderful visit. We enjoyed a nice break from work and got to spend a lot of great time with family!!
