sweet home colorado.

our trip to colorado was well needed

it was way too short

mainly because there is so much to do

and so many people to see

some highlights:

i missed these weenies.

you cant talk to a dog on the phone 

so i end up missing them so much

one of the best thing about durango 

is the mexican food

it is actually spicy!

and authentic tamales :)

sooo good

i ate them all

2 every day for breakfast :]

another delicious food.

texas tacos. 

smoked pork and cheesy potatoes and jalapenos

and then you slather it in their bbq sauce

mmmmm

i am hungry just looking at that picture

i love that colorado actually had weather

it clouds up so nice every night

even if it doesnt rain

at least it cools off compared to utah

my mom has always had the coolest jobs

ie: she works at THE chocolate factory 

in the offices :)

and gets free chocolate 

yummy

for our wedding bobby and i got a gift certificate to ken and sues

aka classy restaurante. 

i had prime rib and bobby had some halibut 

these are his classy poses

dont you love the desert one

he was very excited for his apple tart

i had some yummy cheesecake 

and apple lover had the apple good ness

it was all so good

and we were so stuffed in the end 

yummy

gracias fuscoes. 

we were able to go tubing twice!

its so much fun

you just get a tube and float down the river

i do have to add that the animas has some world class rapids

all the more fun 

but my mom went with bobby and i the first time 

and my forever friend chelsea

she is the cutest thing ever

and we have been friends since we were 7

literally.

so it was good to see her and hang out

the second time we went with some friends from idaho

and my sister

and a friend from high school garrett

bobby got so sunburned

it was so sad

and he still is 

hes just a huge peely peel now

one thing we used to always do when we were kids

was go to the bar d chuckwagon

bobby wasnt very excited though

isnt colorado just so pretty

i was kinda disappointed in it all though

maybe things are just better when youre a kid

but the shops seemed to have nothing in them

and it just seemed lame

me and selby waiting for dinner

i think she actually likes me now

mom and rasp-barry being silly waiting

the food was delicious

and the show was fun

i wish they wouldve done more funny songs though 

there are no more old guys that do the show any more

the last old guy who owns it came out for one song

he played his toilet seat instrument haha 

so that was sad that everyone is too old

you see he loved it

but i though it was okay

i was glad we were able to go

but idk if i will want to go again

maybe i am just old and boring

we got to walk down town and hit all my favorite shops

silk sparrow, animas trading, the home store

and i got a new water bottle!

and mom is gonna make me a purse like this 

after she makes me the pillows we got stuff for 

and the purse we got fabric for too :)

we were also able to go see bobbys grandma

on the way by her we stopped at one of our favorite places in durango

bread. a yummy bakery

bobby likes the baguettes 

he is funny

i love the sew your oats cookies

its their everything cookie

but i didnt get to eat mine :(

and i forgot it at home

we finally had to head home

it was so sad

colorado is just so pretty compared to the desert 

this is sleeping ute mountain in cortez

just a fun landmark

and historical cultural too

i drew in the ute for those who lack imagination

but the utes believe he will wake up 

and help them

i was just reading about all the ute legends and they are pretty cool i must say

at one point there was this grasshopper that got stuck on the window

he just road there for a long time until we got going 50 mph

i guess grasshopper paws are only rated for that much wind

we had some car problems coming back too

it was so stressful because i have never had car problems

and my car is rather new too

it was just so hot or something that our car was vapor locking

but we finally made it home

this sight of gross smog greeted us

at least there was a pretty sunset

it was a good trip

but colorado is still better than uterrrr
