ROAD TRIP!!!!

So we surely did go on a road trip a couple of weeks ago, to Wyoming - B's cousin was getting married so we made a fun little trip out of it...and it really turned out GREAT!!!! Q did AMAZING - honestly I was SO worried that she would get grouchy being in her car seat so much - but she did great and when we got home she wanted to stay in the car and play in her car seat - LOVE THIS GIRL!!=)
Day 1: We headed to Albuquerque NM to go to the Aquarium...it was really awesome - we were totally impressed!!!!
They had this really neat botanical garden that we walked through, and a crazy bug display with all these huge ridiculous bugs and the guy freak'n picked up a HUGE scorpion and was showing us...i thought he was crazy but he acted like it was no big deal! T
Then we found this cool little kid area...it had all kinds of fun stuff...
Huge ants for Q to climb on

A fun slide she went down a couple of times
This HUGE pumpkin you walked through - it was so neat how they made it to seem like a real pumpkin...B & I were pretty dang impressed! :)
Then we finally made it to the aquarium and it was pretty dang awesome!!!
Looking at the sting rays

outside they had this really neat old ship

We walked through one part and there were HUGE fish and eels all around you - it was awesome!


Day 2: We were off to Pueblo, CO...where this is the only pic i took - and it's from my phone! =( But all we really did was go to the mall and let Q play, she LOVES to play on the toys and with all the kids...it was funny though - she was sliding down the slide and then just went right ahead and climbed back up the slide part - and then she went ahead and climbed up the little brick bridge thingy in the background too - she is SO like her Daddy, LOVES to climb! =)Day 3: Off to Winter Park where we went to the ski resort and rode the Alpine Slide...it was FABULOUS!!! It's this HUGE slide that's a 610 foot vertical drop and 3000 feet long and you ride on these little plastic sleds with rollers - at first I didn't think they would go very fast - but B and Q were riding in one in front of me and they were FLYING so I wanted to keep up with them so i totally had to speed up...I was worried that Q might get scared - but B said she just said "WEEEEEE" the whole time!!! =)
Day 4: Headed to Wyoming via the Rocky Mountain National Park and a stop at Loveland. (when we woke up that morning in Winter Park it was like 25 degrees outside...SO SO COLD) Brandon was SO excited to go through the National Park - he was SO sure we would see a Moose...ya all we saw was elk and since we see those in our back yard pretty much - he was SO disappointed! But it was really pretty!!
When we got to the top it was SO cold...the wind was blowing and it was just CHILLY!!!!!
WHAT A CUTIE!

So T gave me these shoes when Q was born and I LOVE them - they are so stink'n cute! But Q would NEVER wear them for some reason she would freak out when I put them on...well I don't know if she was just cold enough that she was grateful for them or what but she surely did let me put them on her and she wore them without even fussing - HOORAH!!!!!

Q helping Daddy drive...

All that driving sure did tucker her out! Thank heavens - that day seemed like one of the longest driving days!!! Q did great though -she is such a little trooper!
We FINALLY made it to Wyoming and headed over to where everyone was setting up for the reception - and yes it's true - I didn't even do Q's hair that day =)
The photo booth was a HIT at the reception! HOORAHJust playing

CUTE!

Fun little family pic
Day 5: Park City here we come!!!
Q had played in the pool a couple of times with Daddy and she was showing Gpa she wanted to go swimming some more! =)
That morning everyone was leaving so the whole fam was down eating breakfast together - Q was loving all the attention! =)


She is telling Daddy something pretty serious - look at her pointing her finger at him! =)
On the road - Q wanted lotion so i gave her some and told her to rub it in good...this is as good as it got =)
When we go to Park City B's friend took us to see the Olympic Ski practice facility. It was really neat! We watched a few people hit the ramp and then land in the swimming pool - good times!

Scott's daughter Madison was SO good with Q and Q loved her. She didn't want to hold any one's hand but hers and was ALL ABOUT HER!! It was so so cute!


Day 6: We did a little shopping at the outlets in Park City - LOVE THEM!!! Then headed to Moab. By the time we got there it was kinda late and raining so we didn't do any hiking =(
Day 7: HOME SWEET HOME...it took 6 hours that day but we made it home...the trip was GREAT!!!
