Mason's Summer Vacation

Mason's Nana & Papa took him on an amazing summer vacation this year. My sweet Mom says that this has been "her dream" and was more excited than anyone (I think). Being that Mom and John lived in Colorado for 11 years, she knew all of the PERFECT kid friendly destinations and planned this trip with activities for Mason every day. I LOVE Colorado in the summer, snow capped mountains, a cool breeze and gorgeous scenery. But alas, someone had to stay home and tend to the babes. So off Mason went with his Nana & Papa to explore the Rockies. Here is a quick recap from their week long get-a-way...

*Warning* LOTS OF PICS!

7 a.m and ready to head to DFW

On a train ride thru the mountains. Mason got to meet the Conductor and was very excited about that. Lots of elk sightings on this leg of the trip.

Pooped after a long day... (so sweet)

Boom Days- Leadville, Co.

Boom Days is a Colorado Mountain Festival and celebration of the ol' west (perfect for my lil' cowboy!) Complete with Burro races, gunslingers, gold miners and a Parade. He had a blast getting his face painted (requested a T-Rex), panning for gold, buying Indian souvenirs and jumping in the Pirate bounce house.

He brought home the gold he found! (For his Momma, of course!)

Keystone, Co

Next up was a trip to Keystone for more fun. A chair lift ride, hiking, the super slide down the mountain and gorgeous snow caps everywhere!

Mason with his Nana & Papa (cute overload)

He calls this "The Bad Bull...." I can see why...

Don't worry, while he was gone, these 2 kept me PLENTY busy!
