Crested Butte Trip

In July we took a great trip to Crested Butte with the kids and their Grandma Switzer. This was the first trip out this direction, where Taylor could really understand... this is the Taylor River and Taylor Reservoir. We had fun throwing rocks in the Reservoir to Jake while Madison was busy eating them on shore. Grandma took the kiddos on the bus into town for playground time while Mommy and Daddy hiked in the morning. The bus was a BIG hit with Taylor. Grandma and Taylor took the chairlift up Mt. Crested Butte, which was a huge hit, but hopefully also means we can get him on one for skiing this winter. The wildflowers and the weather were just absolutely gorgeous and I think Mom now understands why we go here so often!

Royal Gorge Train Route

So In late June, Grandma and PopPop Wagner came out. They were nice enough to take us on the Royal Gorge Train. We had a blast and our Little Engineer Taylor just couldn't get enough of it. We even begged to let them take him to see the Engine when the ride was over. This is normally for those kiddos 13 and over, but they let him go. He got to see the Diesel Engine and Blow the horn 3 times! I think Dad and Pop Pop were just as excited about seeing the inside of the Engine. It was apparently very loud with some pretty heavy duty equipment inside. All Aboard!

Pulling up and Playing with Toys

At the end of June, Maddie started pulling herself up. She is now all over the place displaying her curiosity and getting frustrated when you say no. Too Funny!
