We just got home last night from a fun filled family vacation in Colorado. I should really be doing laundry right now instead of posting pictures of our trip but this seems like more fun!!! I may have to divide our trip up into several post because I'm afraid this could take a while.
Last Monday morning we packed up the car and headed west. Jeff had 5 offices that he had to visit in Western Kansas before our vacation could begin so the first two days of our trip seemed more like Grant and I were just tagging along on a work trip. Our first stop was in Dodge City. We dropped Jeff off at an Edward Jones office to do his thing and we went to Boot Hill. It actually ended up being a fun way to kill time while Jeff was working. Grant absolutely loved it.We toured the old western town, got locked in jail and enjoyed a bottle of cold sarsaparilla while we watched a show in the saloon.
Our next stop was in Garden City. While Jeff worked Grant and I hung out at the hotel and swam. They have a great zoo that you can drive thru in town so later that evening we went to check it out. We were able to stop along the way and got out of the car to see many of the animals. The lion exhibit was probably our favorite. There was also a fun little park near the exit where we let Grant get out and play. 
After one more stop in Scott City on Tuesday morning we finally made it to Colorado.
We stayed in Pueblo on Tuesday night. We had heard there was a nice water walk area downtown. We went down there with the intention of having dinner and shopping around but there wasn't as much to do as we thought. We ended up walking around for about 30 minutes and then went to have some Mexican food before heading back to the hotel to swim. We had a big day planned on Wednesday so we knew we better get to bed early and get a good nights sleep.
