COLORADO!

UPDATE:  There are 5 posts for our trip.  You have to click older posts at the bottom because there are so many pictures!!!

My dad and Mary were kind enough to fly us to Ridgway, Colorado for a quick vacation.  We are beyond thankful they did this for us.  Casey said it was one of the best vacations we've had!  Thank you thank you Dad and Mary.  We can't wait to come back and visit soon! 

I broke our trip up by day since there are SOOO many pictures.  I cannot believe that living in Colorado my whole life, I'd never been to this part of the state.  Pictures just don't capture the full beauty.  Seriously if you are ever in Colorado you need to visit this part of the state!

THURSDAY - Travel day!!!  We woke up SUPER early (3:00am to be exact) to catch our early morning flight out of Ft. Walton Beach.  Cailynn did great on both flights and we made it to Montrose by about 11:00am. 


This is the plane we flew into Colorado on.  I've never flown OVER the mountains as low as we did to get here.  They were so pretty!

Papa Chuck was very excited to see us.  I'm pretty sure he was more excited to see Cailynn!!  My dad and Mary actually live about 10 minutes outside of Ridgway.  Which is like 30 minutes from Montrose.

They just put up a hummingbird feeder.  Man alive at all the hummingbirds.  Anytime of day you could look at it and there were hummingbirds.  Cailynn kept pointing at them.

This is the view off of their porch.  Can you say WOW?

Doesn't it look like Casey could reach out and touch that mountain?


After we got settled, they drove us up to Inspiration Point which is actually behind their house.  One the way we saw a deer!


My dad and Cailynn at the top of the point.

Their house is down there somewhere.


Papa Chuck and Grandma Mary "hiking" with Cailynn.
Papa Chuck taught Cailynn how to smell the flowers.  Over the course of the time we were there, Cailynn learned how to say flower too!
