Steamboat 6/14-6/20

For Harvey's birthday we all went to Steamboat, CO. It was kind of a shock going from Houston, Tx to Steamboat, CO. There was snow still on the top of the mountains and the day we arrived we had a hail storm! Of course I didn't pack the right clothes and I had to go out and buy a sweatshirt(which was good because it was cute!). We stayed at one of Donna and Harvey's good friends The Fry's House. It was so big, Everyone got their own room and we had plenty of space. Downstairs they had a theater room that we all watched the video that Brian and Todd had made for Harvey and it was great. Here is a link to the video http://gallery.me.com/rambir#100000 We went to a hot spring and it was so nice the water was so warm, we went on hikes and rode up the mountain on the gondola. One of Tyler's favorite things was to climb on the big rocks and there were so many around he ran from rock to rock. After we we went up the mountain on the gondola we had lunch and then hiked back down which was about four miles. We were hesitant to have Tyler hike down but he did great, well for the first two miles. He was a very polite hiker. Any time there was a stump or a rock in the middle of the hiking trail he would say be careful a rock. Then after two miles he got tired and said up please to(of course) me. He only wanted mommy to carry him. Everyone kept offering to hold him and he didn't even want daddy to hold him. So I after two miles of hiking had to hike another two mile down the mountain with a 34 lb toddler in my arms, boy were my arms really sore the next day! We also went to this place that had miniature gold and a maze. Tyler got a hole in one on his first hole all by himself but then got bored so he started crawling through the stuff on the holes. Then we had to go through a maze and it was timed and if you did it under a certain amount of time you got a prize. Thankfully Tyler wanted to switch to Daddy's arms(he had more hole punches then mommy) and they ran around and finished fast. Thanks Donna and Harvey for such a wonderful vacation!
