Colorado - Day 2

In mid-July, we took a trip out West to visit Greg, Denise, Dad and the kids in Longmont, Colorado, and Amy, David and Wyatt in Cheyenne. I took a lot of pictures. Here's the dump from Day 2, in Colorado, and a few from the third day, when I didn't take many pictures.

  • Here she still has the box, but something about the wetness of her diaper, the surface and grade of incline of the slide, as well as some stuff about mass and acceleration all combined to make it too fast a ride for her liking. She lost most of the raisins, as you can see here, and shot off the slide, landing on her back. It was of little comfort to her that her uncle was a foot away, with a camera in his hands, nor was it of any help.

  • These last four are from our third day in Colorado. I think I was telling Nathan about whitewater rafting when I took this. We had just come back, with Poppy and the three older kids.
