Escape to Colorado

This little lady had two reasons to smile ...
... she was flying with "Silly Mommy" and Grover and ...
... she was headed to Colorado for a week of rest and relaxation!

Earlier this month, we spent time in Denver to visit with Nonna's extended family. Pictured here is Nonna's brother, Kenny, who treated Rory to her first delicatessen lunch and accompanied her on a trip to the Children's Museum of Denver.
At the museum, Rory practiced her ribbon dance. But the highlight was ...
...Rory's ability to take the wheel of a real fire truck! (Rory LOVES fire trucks.)
Next, we were off to the mountains for a lovely stay at the Broadmoor.
At the hotel, Rory enjoyed lazy mornings with Nonna and Mommy and ...
active afternoons with Pops!
On her hike, Rory practiced her smile. (It still needs work.)
Rory enjoyed several "firsts" on the trip. Her first solo performance on the "big girl" swing.
And her first movie! (A 15-minute science flick at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science.)
A cute pic from the lens of Pops.
All good things come to an end. On Rory's last day, she dutifully dragged her essentials down the hotel hallway. :)
