Thanksgiving - Part 1

We spent a wonderful and action-packed week in Colorado for Thanksgiving with lots of friends, family, animals, and snow, but if you asked Isaac, he would tell you the best part is that he got to take a bus to a train to an airplane! This was our first time travelling with both kids, and for the most part it went well. On the way up there were some empty seats so Caitlin got her own seat which was great because she slept for the majority of the trip - especially surprising since Isaac spent most of the flight climbing back and forth between his and Bill's row and our row.

We spent a few days in Boulder with Bill's brother Evan and his wife Adrienne and Isaac was thrilled to learn the art of making "milkshakers" - an activity that we brought home with us. He also loved hanging with all of Evan and Adrienne's pets - two rottweilers, a bunny rabbit and a lizard and playing loudly on their piano.

We also spent some time visiting friends, including the Samburs who are getting ready to welcome a baby girl and the Reiss family. I couldn't resist this picture of Bill and his good friend/fraternity brother Jared - they've come a long way from college to now having four daughters and a son between them!

We also got in some QT with the Kruse family who live in the same cute suburb of Colorado that my sister and mom live in. Isaac and Colin had fun shooting hoops, playing on the playground, and rolling down the huge hill with their daddies.

Finally, we spent a great few days with my mom who spoiled the kids (and us) rotten. Isaac especially had fun having two sleepovers with her and watching the prairie dogs and chasing his new garbage truck up and down the street with Grandma in tow.
