OURAY, CO

Perry turned the big 29 this past weekend and we went to a bed and breakfast in Ouray, Colorado to celebrate. It was nice to get away-especially for Perry since he as been so busy lately. The picture below is looking down on Ouray. I have posted a bunch of random pictures from the trip.

SHOPPING

So we went shopping at some cute little shops on mainstreet. The picture above is a Swiss shop where everything was made in Switzerland-the owner was even from Switzerland. He had such a cute little accent. We couldn't resist and bought a beautiful little Santa Clause. It was fun going to the little shops but we didn't buy very much because most things were overpriced.

Here are some random pictures of hiking and scenery.

HIKING

We went hiking to a pretty waterfall. Logan was loving being up high on dad's shoulders.

WATERFALL

HOT POTS

After we were done hiking we went and relaxed some hot pot pools. They were so warm and nice I could have stayed in them all day. Logan could not get enough of the water-she was having a blast splashing and kicking.

WHO WANTS ICECREAM?

Okay, I know this is a dorky picture of me, but icecream sounded so good so we went to this icecream shop and I asked for a double scoop of icecream. The lady must have thought I said seven scoops because that is how many she gave me. Perry and I were both dying at how much she gave me. Don't worry I didn't waste any-somehow I managed to eat it all. I know I'm a P I G.

WINTER WONDERLAND

The day we left we woke up to a winter wonderland of about 6 inches of snow. This is a picture looking off of the balcony of our room. It was so pretty. It was a scary drive home though, thank goodness for 4 wheel drive and snow tires or we would have been stuck in Ouray, (which secretly I would have been okay with.)

SANTA CLAUSE IS COMING TO TOWN

I can't believe it's Christmas time already! Our ward had a primary Christmas party for the kids and families. They told stories and had milk and cookies and Santa Clause came. Logan loved Santa and wasn't afraid. She kept looking at his big puffy beard. Anyway, here are some pictures.
