More Summer Vacation Memories

After both family reunions we went to Fort Collins to stay with Craig's Dad and stepmom and his 2 younger siblings- Mia had so much fun being spoiled by her 'ti-ti' Rachel and her Nana Debbie.  It was so nice to have Rachel to take care of Mia for the week- she fed her, changed her, took her potty, bathed her (with me watching of course) and played with her- it seemed like a real vacation this way!!

Reading bedtime stories with Aunt Rach

At the Denver Zoo- so FUN!!

Riding the little train- Mia wasn't quite sure, but she ended up liking it

Her first carousel ride- she wanted to ride a 'bar' so we choose the panda!

After the ride, we had to pet the elephant and lion. :)

Trying to pose with the monkeys

Playing at the splash park with Aunt Rach- it is amazing to look up and see the mountains from the splash park- oooh, I love Colorado!

We had great fun with Craig's dad and family and then headed to North Platte for the weekend to stay with his mom, stepdad and sister Tina.  Again, Mia was spoiled by more loving grandparents!

Nana Brenda and Grandpa Gale took us for a picnic lunch at Cody Park.  Then we walked around the fed the animals popcorn.  It was raining and buggy but it was still a good time!  Mia loved the animals.

Checking out a deer

The babies duck were so cute!  Craig used his foot to separate one duckling from the group and then picked it up and let Mia pet it- Mama duck was NOT happy!

We had such a great vacation and made great memories, but it was so great to be back in our own beds!
