Cheyenne Frontier Days

This weekend we spent time in Cheyenne with my whole side of the family (Katie). My sister and her family lives out there so we stayed with them. We had a great time at Cheyenne Frontier Days riding the rides, watching a parade, seeing the Indian Village, climbing and hiking in Arapahoe National Park and roasting marshmellows in the firepit that was recently added to my sister's backyard. We were definitely in Cowboy country and loved it!

Every time we do something new like travel to another state, go to a fair, watch a parade, hike up some rocks or even roast marshmellows I marvel at how Zac seems to assimilate to his situation like he is familiar with all these things. He is so adaptive and enjoys new experiences so much. He has only been home with us three months...sometimes I can hardly believe it!

Hallie and Jacob also had a great time! Jake made it to the top of the rock with his uncles and we finally got to see Hallie after she had been away with her grandparents for a week.

Here are some pictures and video from our trip to Wyoming.

That's how it was with our son. Assimilating into the family was for him like falling off a log. He was just happy to go along and be a part of it. It's been almost 8 years now for us. Following your story is like reliving those fun first moments for us.

It was a fun weekend for us as well -- so good to be with the family in cowboy country and see our newest grandchild make such an amazing connection to our family - love that little guy, especially when he gives hugs, says "Nannie, watch" or when he spontaneously said "I love you" and gave me a BIG kiss. It just doesn't get better than that. N
