Colorado Visit with the Grandparents

Last week Rhett & I were so lucky and happy to fly back to Colorado for an 'in between' holiday visit! It was so fun to spend time with all the grandparents and get away from the city for awhile too. Rhett is such a great traveler, it's hard to stay home! Rhett really experienced his first 'taste', literally, of snow, courtesy of his Grandma Judy..and he was able to see Chickens, Grandma taught him how to drink out of a real cup (who needs a sippy cup?), be present and Grandpa Hutch's art show opening and do lots of visiting and shopping with family. A few pics commemorating the trip below. Since Rhett is growing and changing so quickly, I wish we were just a little bit closer to my home, I miss having my parents and family take part in Rhett's growing up so much.

We went up on the Dolores (West Fork) river, and were able to fish on Dunton property. Dunton was once a tiny little hot springs 'shack' town when I was just a kid. We would camp up there, cross country ski, and swim in the natural hot springs, which was located in a shack. Now-a-days, the place is owned by a very wealthy foreign family, and they have turned it into a beautiful resort property, restoring everything to 'new' but it still looks 'old'. It's 5 star and then some. It's kept it's rustic charm and it's old feel, even the hot springs. I am grateful that we know the manager very well (family friend) and my Dad helps stock the trout into...
