Grandma's Day

A day with Grandma.  The kind of day that Grandma loves.  Filled with mountains, flowers, sand, and ice cream.  The perfect day to spend outside enjoying each other and God's beauty.

The boys were really excited when we loaded up in the car and headed to Grand Lake, Colorado.  A day full of the Colorado Sunshine with Grandma.  Our car was full of anticipation until......THE POOP episode.  Now, we just refer to this day as the day of POOP and we laugh histerically when we think about it.  It all started when Gabe and Owen started complaining about the smell in the back seat.  So, I pulled over to change Eli's diaper.  But, this wasn't just a normal diaper change.  As I took him out of the car seat, I noticed he had a slight explosion.  So being the helpful Grandma that she is she takes Eli from me while I am cleaning poop off the car seat.  Then, I look at Grandma in complete horror.   Her shirt is covered in poop.  Eli is covered in poop.  It was the worse poop mess I had ever seen.  We just looked at each other and started laughing hysertically.  Really, what else could you do at this point?  We did the best we could.  Grandma threw away her shirt and I cleaned and scrubbed the best I could....then we continued on our way.

And, we finally arrived to Grand Lake.  Clean and ready to get our feet wet and dig in the sand.


After we played at the lake and explored the town a little, we headed out for a hike.  The boys were so excited to get out and explore the mountains.  Gabriel was very prepared and brought many essentials in his backpack.  The life savor was the umbrella!  Without it we would have gotten very wet on our hike!




Our day wouldn't be complete without a sweet treet and we were ready for it after our big adventure.

Thanks Grandma for the great adventure!  We had so much fun!
