1st trip back to Colorado

April 1st - April 8th, 2012

We headed back to Colorado to visit my mom and dad and all of our friends.  I had our week so packed full of activities in order to try and see everyone.  I had to send my calender to my mother ahead of time so she knew when we were free for her to get to do some fun things with me and Megan.  Megan and I went for the first part of the week and then Robert came and joined us for the weekend and for Easter.  We all had such a wonderful time.  We got to go to the zoo with grandma and cousin Ryan, which Megan thought was great.  Megan had her first sleep-over at Talia's house.  I was in the room right next to Talia's just in case.  The girls are so cute together.  After we tucked them in we heard talking and giggling coming from Talia's bedroom.  It was beautiful weather while we were there and we had lots of outdoor fun. 

Grandpa had to check the sprinklers, so Megan had to use that opportunity to run thru the sprinklers

Well on her way to getting soaking wet.

A little girl can get thirsty after all of that running.  Good thing there was a bird feeder nearby!

Robert flew in on the Friday before Easter.  Megan had unfortunately gotten sick right before her daddy came, so she didn't get to go with me to the airport to pick him up.  She had been throwing up and I didn't dare put her in the car.  But, when I got her daddy to grandma's house, she was so happy to cuddle with daddy and slowly started to feel better.  Easter was fun.  Megan dyed Easter eggs with her cousins, Dylan and Ryan, and practiced finding the eggs.  For Easter she asked for: a mermaid doll that could really swim, 2 pairs of goggles (one for her and one for Talia), and a toothbrush like Talia's.  While spending the night at Talia's, she saw Talia's fancy Dora electric toothbrush and wanted one.  She enjoyed Easter morning going through her basket and seeing everything that the Easter bunny gave her.  Then afterwards, the kids went to the park for the Easter egg hunt.  The next morning we headed to the airport to head home.  It was so much fun. 

So happy to have her Daddy back

Found another one!

Megan's Easter basket

A last minute item, a squishy ball, that she absolutely fell in love with.  She is giving it a kiss.

Trying on her goggles.  How cute!
