Last week we made the journey to Colorado to attend our first Juvenile Arthritis Conference! (For those who don't know, well, anyone reading this should know, but my 3 year old was diagnosed about a year and half ago. Kids get arthritis too!)
It was SO beautiful up where we stayed--this is the view from our condo!
Everyday they would remind all of us to drink extra water because of the high elevation--good thing I brought my new cool mug, thanks Chels!
Here's Alissa at the opening night dinner--why da heck she thought this was a good pose I will never know! We jammed to Koo Koo Kangaroo (a few guys in their 20's jumping around singing songs about chomping dinosaurs, hmmmm)
We took the skii lift up to the TOP of the mountain! (I forgot the sunscreen, shhhh)
Still had to do my running, no way I was gonna let that slip, vacation or not! It was actually really awesome running on the paths through those mountains and streams...oh, except the last run which was NOT very pleasant as it was all inclined on the way back! But my dad ran with me, so we struck a shoe pose.
Blast from the past--what the?! Who HAS this old of an oven, I didn't even know how to work it!
Awww, isn't the wildlife cute?
Meet Colorados Jayden Isaiah, folks! No, that was NOT a typo, that's Colorados with an "s!" K lovingly named the snake she made, explaining that adding the "s" just makes it funner to say. (By the way, she also walked around for days talking about a "Chelsea Bays" because that was also fun)
Highlight of their trip--shuttle rides
Time for feuud
Git yer boots, cow belts, and lassos (okay I know nothing about cowboy talk) ready for the HOE DOWN!
We had a great time, and hope to make this a yearly tradition, we learned so many new ways to help deal with this disease!
