Going to the Mountains = A LOT of questions

On Saturday night Isaiah and I went down to the Civic Center to watch the fireworks. Matt had Kendra and as always... I was bummed she wasn't with us for the weekend. We sat down and I told Isaiah I wished Kendra was with us. A few minutes later I see an adorable blond little girl with her arms out shouting, "MAMA!" Kendra comes running over to see us with her Grandma and Great-aunt in tow. I offered that they could sit and watch the fireworks with us, so they left Kendra with us to watch them. It was wonderful!

The next day we picked Kendra up to go to Breckenridge for a few nights. Kendra had a number of questions including:
1. Do people in the mountains have the same president as us?
2. Do they speak English there?
3. Why are there so many "palm" (pine) trees?
4. Are there bears and can we smell them if they are coming?
5. Do they have an Old McDonald's (McDonald's restaurant) there?
6. How long until the fireworks start?... repeat x 10!
7. Can we get more ice cream?!!!!

She was very patient on the drive up and enjoyed a bit of a nap. She was a bit confused as to how many actual mountains there are. Kendra got to play in a bouncy castle and a huge inflatable slide. We watched fire works on Sunday night with very loud echoing booms through the mountains. It was gorgeous!

On Monday we had to sit through a loooong time share presentation. Isaiah and I were talking about how nice the property was and received a mini lecture from Kendra on how we cannot move to the mountains because everyone else lives "down there". It was very cute! We dropped Isaiah off at the golf course and went off our own adventure. We rode the Gondola up the mountain and found a Breckenridge park. We then decided to take the ski lift up to the top of the mountain to enjoy the view. I was terrified that Kendra would wiggle off the ski lift, especially after I had to sign a waiver for us to ride. She told me to stop holding on to her so tightly =) We also rode the Alpine Slides down the mountain, which was a blast. Kendra insisted on driving and I insisted on helping. She then apologized to the people behind us for her mommy slowing it down.

All in all the trip was a blast! I will post pictures soon!
