We are back from our break from reality! What would the boys and I do without our time in Colorado every summer! It is like stepping back in time to a safer and simpler place. My mom took good care of us and we all made it back in one piece despite a few close calls. I am so thankful that my boys can go and enjoy the same things that I loved as a kid. Atley made the comment when we first arrived, "I love Colorado 'cuz I can be free!" That about sums it up! There is too much to write so here is the short list of what took place during our month away.
1. Lots of Delayed Flights
2. Lots of swimming in the ice cold Colorado water!
3. Lots of time with cousins-Nash is still asking for "CLAY!"
4. Spending time with Great-Grandparents. Trying not to drive them too crazy.
5. Atley getting a possible case of West Nile and spending an entire week in bed.
6. Replacing the things in Granny's house that the boys destroyed-Sunglasses, Watch, Sprinkler, Table, and Vacuum.
7. Celebrating Granny's Birthday 12 days early.
8. Going to the pageant and hearing Atley say, "Is that really Jesus on the stage!"
9. Watching the parades and getting too much candy.
10. Running in the races and winning some of them.
11. Catching snakes in the mountains.
12. Riding the 4-Wheeler
13. Terrorizing Granny's Office and co-workers.
14. Visiting the Dairy daily.
15. Helping Nash practice his "PIG" sounds.
16. Riding Carnival Rides
17. Saving Nash from his escape from a moving carnival ride. I never thought Scott could move so fast.
18. Atley taking his first driving lessons.
19. Almost hitting a strange man on the side of the road in the middle of the night.
20. Freezing to death most of the time.

I know I am crazy! I am glad you are back to the blogging world again but I am jealous too - that had so much time off and not in reality. You deserve it! I liked reading your summary of your trip. Sounds crazy and fun!
Hi Melissa and Scott,

It was fun having you here. You are always the life of the party. Atley and Nash are cute little boys. Hope to see you soon!
Sounds awesome! Those are going to be the best memories for your boys. Your pics are great- it looks like there are about a half million toddlers out there! I also see from your traffic feed that you have a fan in Zurich. Congratulations! Char's not the only famous Butler. ;)
