Labor Day in Colo ... per the norm

Just like we do every year, we packed ourselves up and headed out to Colorado for the CU vs CSU football game. It's our tradition. I think if it ever comes to end, Mike and I won't be quite sure what to do with ourselves. :)

This came as Caleb's 3rd trip. He's starting to settle into traveling whereas as David ... David is a seasoned pro. Even being potty trained ... he's been there; done that when it comes to traveling via plane. Seriously, going into the airport, through security and onto the plane he's an absolute gem. He knows that when the seatbelt sign is on he MUST have his seatbelt on. He knows that he can't pull on the tray table because it can be bothersome to the person in front of him. He knows that he can usually get apple juice too. He watches the Kindle, plays his LeapPad and even sometimes colors. He's well traveled. And LOVES having his own stuff in his backpack.

Caleb on the other hand is only 9mos old and still figuring out this whole thing called traveling. But just like his brother, he'll figure it out. Soon we'll be doing our next big trip, heading out to New York for Blake and Jared's wedding ... that'll be a true test for Caleb. It's a LONG trip and he'll be even more mobile come Oct 11th. It could get interesting. :P

Colorado was great as usual. Only this time Mike and I got to see the Bronco's play in warm weather AND even got to carry the American flag out onto the field during pregame festivities. We were even on the Jumbotron!! Then the Buffs beat the Rams in a beautiful fashion and we are so excited for the future of this team with new coach MacIntyre. We got to see some friends and enjoy the family. As well as a little thunder, lightening, and rain. Not much for David to puddle jump but enough for him to enjoy his new rain boots.
