Benjamin and I spent 2 weeks in Colorado. Ryan was there with us for the first weekend. My brother Matt and his family were there too which was so nice because it's the first time we've all been together in a long time.

The Trlica's (my mom's old college roommate's family) came up for a "Birthday" Celebration.

Benjamin slept through dinner because he refused to nap earlier. He must be my son because he loves corn on the cob!!!

I didn't collect any raspberries because Benjamin would eat them as quick as I could pick them. Raspberries are the only way we got him to stand still for this photo!

Benjamin had definite ideas about who should (or should not) be touching the Corvette. The battery isn't working in the Corvette... So Grandma and Grandpa bought...

...an ATV. Benjamin was very adept at driving it and spent hours on the thing. We had it inside for part of the time and he avoided furniture quite well. It only goes 2 mph, but it would have been nice if it had gone in reverse too. I did have qualms about him not getting any exercise while on it, but he runs around enough that it probably doesn't matter.

Matt and I visiting with Grandma Hoffman. Benjamin is in character in the background pulling around a wagon.

We're not quite sure how Maxwell got the front row on the Tiny Town Train!
The train's steam bursts were kind of loud and scary.
Benjamin and Maxwell in a Tiny Town House.
Benjamin liked to have Miraim comb his hair.
On the trail at "Flying J" Ranch. Grandma is so funny!
Elk on "Lester Lane". What wonderful wildlife! To whom it may concern: Please don't sell the cabin!!!!
Lunch at Coney Island Hot Dog Stand. It seems to be doing well even after moving to Bailey from Aspen Park. Benjamin really liked the water wheel in the back and playing with the gravel in the picnic area.
Waiting for the city bus at Cold Springs to take Maxwell and Matt to the airport. The bus was 20 minutes late so we ended up driving them there after all. Benjamin was sad he didn't get to ride the bus or go into the airport.
