Vacation Day 1 - Colorado Arrival



Playing with his cars while waiting patiently for our flight

The plane ride was good and uneventful. Merit stayed busy watching cars on the iPad, playing Doodle Buddy on the iPad and some games too. I also brought some of his favorite books and crayons. We were loaded down with snacks galore for Merit and some for us as well. Merit didn't even seem to notice that we were flying. However, towards the end of the 2 hour flight he began to get a little restless and wanted to get down and play. We had to wait for a while for our shuttle bus and then we had to wait for quite a long time to get our rental car. Merit enjoyed playing with his cousins while Daddy and Papa D stood in line for the cars. He fell asleep on the drive from Denver to Colorado and then was wide awake when we arrived at Grandma & Pimpa's house. He greeted their dogs and made himself right at home. It was midnight Colorado time so I guess he had gotten his second wind; not good for Mommy & Daddy who were pretty tired by this time. We traveled just a few minutes down the road to Aunt Joni & Uncle Randy's house where we stayed for the week. Merit met their adorable dogs and then we finally got home in bed around 1:30 a.m. Sleep was very needed at this point but the trip was off to a great start!
