Within 45 miles of Amarillo, Abby and I were both asleep in the backseat. We were super tired. I think Jeremy was questioning why he had taken us along at that point, but we just needed a short nap so we would be ready for the adventure to come.
On the first day, Jeremy skiied. Abby and I went to the resort with him for a while. She really wanted to ski (of course, she is still too little) so we decided that I would climb part of the way up the bunny slope with her and let Jeremy carry her the rest of the way down. So huffing and puffing, up we went, just for her to decide that skiing down with Daddy wasn't such a great idea afterall. So down we went...on foot again. On Day Two, we traveled to Creede where we had a delightful breakfast in a little cafe there, did a little shopping, drove part of the way up the old mine road (Abby pictured w/ Jeremy), and played a little on the frozen pond (Abby pictured with me).
Later that afternoon, we traveled across to Pagosa Springs and had a picnic in the park by the Rio Grande River, felt the hot springs, and did a tad more shopping. We also gave sledding
On Sunday, we stopped at the sand dunes not too far out of South Fork. The Easter bunny must have been there shortly before, because Abby was able to hunt eggs...in 33 degree weather. I think she picked up 5 eggs before she decided her hands were cold and she was ready to go. She really is such a trooper.
And I will leave you with a family picture...
Santa brought Abby a new baby for Christmas along with a diaper bag complete with a bottle, pacifier, bowl, spoon, etc. Abby loves her baby so much and is such a good mommy. Sometimes Abby will start "crying" when she is taking care of her baby. Within seconds, though, she is rocking and patting the baby and scrambling for a paci to give her. The funny part is that Abby often gets confused as to who is actually crying and I end up holding, rocking, patting, and finding a pacifier for both of them. Here, Abby decided she wanted her baby to swing with her.
