{Leaving on a Jet Plane}

We flew home from Denver to JFK with Jet Blue. We really like this airline. Alix tried to stay up but soon crashed sense we were taking the red eye home and we our flight didn't take off till 11pm

All the girls fell asleep at the airport so they were super tired getting on to this flight as you can see in the above picture. She was the first to fall asleep. Of course I didn't sleep very well. There's no way I can sleep sitting up but it wasn't too bad. Watching my kids sleep was the cutest thing in the world.

Poor Mason during Casa Bonita was getting a fever. So before the flight we stopped to some Motrin to help sleep on the plane. It did a pretty good job and he sleep the whole way. But you can tell he was hot and red in this photo.

{Casa Bonita}

No trip is complete without hitting up Casa Bonita. A Famous Mexican Restaurant in Colorado. This trip was almost incomplete. I almost didn't go and on the very last day I saw a coupon for Casa Bonita and talked my family to all go!

While we were there we played a little and got this shot!

The outside of Casa Bonita

The inside of Casa Bonita. We watched diving shows, w through caves, Listened to fun Mexican music had yummy soapapias too! I hate way too much it being an all you can eat.

We also played a couple of games too.

After dinner we went back to the house and got all the bags packed and headed to the airport to go back home to New York. {There I said it home is New York not Colorado, not Utah, not Vegas, not Vancouver. HOme is New York.}

{Copper Mountain Reunion}

One of my favorite things to do in Colorado is go to one of the ski towns in the Summer and take the ski lifts to the top of the mountain so that's what we did. While we were there we saw my cousins. They live in Arizona but in the summer they have a condo in Keystone and for that day they decided to go up to Copper for the day. Their son Ryan and his family from Missouri was also visiting. It was really good to see them all since it's been...I don't even know how many years actually. Anyway it was a wonderful surprise.

On the way up to Copper Mountain we always get excited to see the Jetson's home on the hill! Well that's what we called it.

Love that this resturant is called Chubs. Man that would make one feel good eating there.

We played in the sand as we ran into our cousins. The kids got supper dirty and wet the first 30 minutes we were there. I had to keep to do some deep breathing :) and convincing myself it was okay.

Colorado's State Flower is the Columbine

I love how pretty this mountain town is in the summer. I love seeing all the green.

I love how goofy my family is. I wouldn't trade them for the world. Well sometimes I would like I would trade Kristie for anyone else! ha ha Kris I know you're the only one who reads my blog so I had to throw that in.

We went on the lift 3 times I think {listen to me I already forgot} We just thought it was so relaxing.

So relaxing that Mason passed out on Kylee.

ONce we got to the top we had a wonderful luncheon. It was so peaceful and nice. The food wasn't too bad either.

Tanya kills me how funny and goofy she is too.

Like I said earlier we went up 3 times and down 3 times so everytime we sat by someone new! So sorry for all the pictures but I love how many fun ones we got.

Alix was all excited she was hanging out with her cousins. She was in heaven.

Addison loves her Aunt KiKi

We did some shopping too. We didn't buy this but Trenton thought it was hilarious. Well we all did. We did buy a green Copper Mtn shirt for Jon, so sad he wasn't there with us and a Christmas Ornament in shape of a Ski Lift that said Copper Moutain!
