High Altitude Adventures

Hi everyone!

Sorry that we have been slackers this week and haven't posted. It has been an eventful week!

Last weekend we took Owen up to Breck to see how he would do at altitude. We left early so that, if anything went wrong and we wanted to bring him back to Boulder we wouldn't have to drive at night. But, the little man did GREAT!! Which turned out to be a good thing in many ways because the weather turned bad and they closed the highway so we wouldn't have been able to get down if we wanted to.

But, it was also a good thing because we had a great time! Owen, Sean, and I went for a walk in town...
That's Owen in the sling wearing his Tomato hat (thanks Melissa T!) He slept the whole way!

And Owen got to meet lots of new friends - Pancho and Coco, Adam and Minda, Toni and Skip. And his dad also introduced him to the icicles on the porch! (we have a picture of this introduction but Owen's face is obscured by sunlight so you'll have to trust us that he enjoyed this experience immensely - well, at least he didn't cry.)




Since we don't have a changing table set up there, we had to create a make-shift one on the couch. And, for a little entertainment, Owen played with his new musical windmill from Holland (thanks Jonathan and Petra!!)

It was a great weekend and we are excited to take Owen up there again soon! Hopefully, next time I won't be so anxious about how Owen is sleeping, eating and pooping and I can go skiing for a run or two. :)
