Colorado with the Johnstone Family!


We arrived in Colorado around 5pm on Monday, June 13th. I really wish we could have come on a weekend for this visit. My sister and Doug both had to work all week, but fortunately Gavin played hooky from daycare and got to hang out with us all week! Doug is up at 2:30am for work, so he was home by 2pm. Megs was home by 6!

On Tuesday, we spent the morning settling in and resting from our 2 day drive. We drove from Melissa, TX to Amarillo, TX and stayed in a hotel, then finished off our drive to Colorado the next day. We packed a lunch for everyone and went over to Aurora Reservoir. What a beautiful spot! It had rentals for kayaks, paddle boards, bikes, BBQs, and fishing boats. They also had a snack bar, a beach area for swimming, a playground, and some walking/biking paths. We ended up hanging mostly by the playground and then headed out for some frozen yogurt.



Little rascals after ice cream just had to get in near the splash area! I don’t blame them!






Wednesday morning we went to the neighborhood splash pad. I gotta say, Gavin knows his comfort zone and that was definitely HIS spot. He was all smiles and had a blast. Kamryn likes everything Gavin likes so she was all smiles. Noah was cold haha. Oh Key West, what have you done to our children! LOL! The water was pretty chilly!






Lots of playing outside and bonding is basically what we did in Colorado and we loved every second of it. Water balloons, squirt guns, power wheels, swimming pool, popsicles, walks with Cooper, you name it! The kids were always asking to go outside to play! Kamryn and Gavin were best buds from the start. It was nice to see because most kids we see want to hang out with the big kid (aka Noah). So I’m glad Kamryn and Gavin were so close. Overall, they all played well together.







Thursday night was our last night, so we roasted marshmallows in their backyard! A Busick favorite of course!!











Thanks Megs, Doug, Gavin, and Cooper for having us! We love you guys so much and enjoy our time EVERY TIME!! I wish goodbyes were easy but they never are! We have had a lot of  “see you laters” in the last month but also some exciting “hello’s”!






 Photo OVERLOAD but so many memories made! I can't wait to go back! :)
