Colorado Road Trip

For the Labor Day weekend our family traveled to Aurora, Colorado to see Ava and Reese's great-grandparents.  It was a perfect weekend getting to introduce my grandparents to our girls for the first time since they don't travel anymore and traveling to high altitudes for Ava hasn't been possible.  All four of us (Zack, Ava, Reese, and I) stayed in the guest bedroom of my grandparents retirement village apartment and had a great time.  Gigi and Grampy had plenty of play time with Ava and Reese, and enjoyed naps just as much as the girls.  Gigi even took us to the Denver Zoo and we saw all the animals.  Running the halls of the retirement village and roaming the village atrium was a favorite of the girls.  We also met a lot of people who "knew" the girls from all the pictures and details they would get from Gigi around their building.  How fun!  We also got to see our friends Keri, Erik, and Riley who moved out to Colorado last spring/summer.  IHOP omelets were a hit! 

Ava did need some extra oxygen support due to the thinner air but once back in Olathe that was history!  Now we are enjoying life back home and after going to the doctor last week, we are awaiting to hear when Ava's bronchoscopy and hopefully removal of trach will be rescheduled.  The plan is mid-October!  I'll be sure to keep you posted!










Playing at home today...it's so much fun to play without that silly oxygen tank and tubing!
