A Great Time in Durango

This weekend we went to Durango to visit the Fargos (Matt's parents, Tim and Cindy) at their home in Durango, Colorado. We left on Friday morning and were able to see the start of the leaves changing...we even saw some snow! Although the drive is long, we always have a great time and Madison loves visiting with Grandma Cindy and Grandpa Tim. We also met their friends Paul and Sherry, who were such a nice couple and fun to visit with. Going to Durango is nice because we spend a lot of time visiting while enjoying the beautiful views on the back deck and front patio. We also went into town on Saturday night for a fun dinner and listened to music (unfortunately CU did not play so well, so we ditched the game)! Overall, we had a great time and loved our visit!

Packing the night before...

At the top of Wolf Creek Pass (a little more than an hour from Durango) it was snowing! We let Ellie out to play because she loves the snow so much.

The start of the Fall colors. Not much change on our drive down Friday morning, but lots happened by our drive back on Sunday...it was beautiful!

Such a tall girl!

Playing the piano with Grandma Cindy...Madison loves music.

Madison loves to pet Buck (Tim and Cindy's lab) and he actually lets her! She is not so fortunate with Ellie.

Happy girl playing on the front deck

Having fun with Grandma, Daddy, and Grandpa. Madison looks like she is in pain, but she was being silly (it was just the timing of the photo)!

With close supervision, Madison enjoyed looking over the balcony at everyone below :)

My little fall bunny :) On our way out to dinner...it was a little chilly.

At dinner, there was another little boy at the nearby table that Madison loved smiling at. They had fun "talking" and holding hands.

A group picture at Steamworks (Madison, Matt, Mel, Paul, Tim, Cindy, and Shelly)

Playing music (shaking her music egg) with Grandpa and Grandma

Dancing on the table (she really was having fun...again, the timing of the picture).

After dinner, we went to the Strater Hotel to listen to one of the Fargos favorite singers (Greg Ryder)

Yummy...blueberry pancakes!!

Madison eating her own blueberries

Enjoying the outside front porch. The group (right) was chatting around the fire pit and Tim was playing with the dogs (Buck and Ellie).

Saying goodbye is never fun, but we all had a great time! Until next time Durango...
