Spring break arrived, and thanks to a great deal on United, Gramma and Grampa packed our bags and headed to see our Colorado kids. Matt and Heidi have a beautiful home, surrounded by natural beauty, and we took great advantage of it all. The icing on the cake literally was being there to celebrate our baby's 2nd Birthday! Hard to believe, but it's true. Of course all Gramma's think their baby is the most beautiful and brightest.....but this kid amazes me. He was just here in February, and the level of new vocabulary in just two months was incredible. His understanding of questions and conversations, fenominal. Yes, I could gush for hours, so I will just go forward with a few pictures of our adventures. Upon arrival, he melted my heart as we ran together for a hug and reunion at the airport! This is the face I can't get enough of. 
Heidi took us to Eldorado Springs and we went on a hike. The highlight for Heidi and I was seeing our "Gampa" in his element with his grandbaby. The two of them were in boy heaven.
There was rock throwing, stick stirring and floating, and touching that Coooold mountain runoff.

Story time with Gramma - he can't get enough of the books, and knows some of them really well.

One last photo op with my boy before we hit the road....My Jackson started crying when we got to the airport, and said our goodbyes, he started his momma crying, and they had an emotional ride home...as did this Gramma

OH Sheryl! I know all the feelings you have for your little guy. He is adorable. It is wonderful when they are old enough to remember you. And I love it when they CRY because Grandma is leaving...isn't that the best? to be LOVED by a child...ummmm DELICIOUS!
How fun to be with little Jackson. He is too cute! I absolutely loved him in his little overalls...too too cute! What talent on the cake too!
There needs to be something in the marriage contract about how far our children and consequently our grandchildren can live from us! I'm sure you all had a wonderful week...Colorado is a beautiful state. I wish I had a reason to go to Colorado.
