Big, because there are lots of pictures. Lots and lots of pictures!
Over Memorial Day weekend, Molly and I headed out for our annual pilgrimage vacation to Colorado. Lots of time with family, lots of time with friends, lots of activities, very little free time.
Surprisingly, I found myself at various events without a camera. As a result, I don’t have pictures of everything we did. *gasp*
No worries, I will just fill in the voids with the extra pictures of the events where I did have a camera (and took plenty of pictures). That should keep my Mom and Dad happy.
We started the big vaca with a trip to the splash park on Memorial Day.
After a little splash, Molly put on clothes and headed to the park.
But wait, she wasn’t done yet! Later that day, we went to a BBQ. Molly loved hanging out with the kids on this trip. Never mind that the kids were often 10-15 years older than her!
Another highlight of the trip was a visit to Heritage Square. This is a place I visited as a kid, but now they added amusement park rides.
Here we are making our plan of attack for the afternoon.
Most of the rides were pint-sized. Molly was big enough to ride them, but not big enough to ride them alone. So that meant that I got to accompany her on almost every one.
Joy.
Here’s the Scrambler…
and the paddle boats…
and the tea cups…
and the flying banana ride.
Wait, the fun is not over yet. We still had to ride the alpine slide…
and the roller coaster.
torture device ride four times.
My daughter is a true adrenalin junky. She loved all of the rides, and the more they spun, the more she loved them. Me, not so much anymore. I was sick to my stomach before we left the park. Seriously.
Luckily, before dinner my stomach settled down. I say luckily because we met my parents at the Elephant Bar for dinner. And they were paying. I’d hate to miss a free meal.
Molly loved this elephant in the restaurant so much that everyone had to pose for a picture with her and the elephant. Here’s Ryan…
We spent lots of time with Molly’s Dongguan cribmate, Luke. Here’s a sneak peak picture. You’ll get an entire Luke and Molly post soon. But suffice to say, there was cuteness o’plenty!
Molly never missed an opportunity to pose like a princess.
And she wanted her picture taken with everyone (who was awake) on the day we left. Here’s Uncle Jeff…
One the way home we changed planes in Minneapolis. Molly was so excited to see Daddy that she was jumping for joy in the airport.
She made me take a picture with my phone and send it to Daddy so he could see how excited she was. I don’t know what it is about this age, but Molly wants pictures of everything.
Including this Coyote pup statue at the airport!
Eleven days of fun, fun, fun.
Molly slept 13 straight hours for the first 4 nights we got home. Do ya think she had a good time?
I think so, too!
