Yesterday we got very early and headed up to the mountains. Our first stop was Glenwood Springs. It was the strawberry festival this weekend. We got there before the parade started so we played on the playground for a little bit. Then we found a tatoo guy so we both got unicorns. I got 2 because the man made a mistake on my first one.
Here’s Autumn’s.
Autumn can have a little attitude sometimes.
These are mine.
When we were watching the parade a nice man gave us each a flag. (Actually he gave Autumn one, so Dad and I went walking to get one from him while mom took these pictures)
Got one!
We saw fire engines, police cars, the Army band, strawberry princesses, and lots of kids. After awhile we decided to go look at the shops.
We saw these halo’s and Dad said we could have one. I chose the rainbow one. Autumn chose the blue one, and when the lady asked if she wanted blue and white or blue and orange, she chose orange. Mom says we have to work on teaching Autumn the right colors to choose. (Red and Gold)

After the shops we headed over to see if the train was working yet. It was! I wanted the pink one and Autumn wanted the blue one.
Even though it was the strawberry festival, there weren’t very many strawberry things. Before we left we found a strawberry booth though. First we had strawberry kabobs with some chocolate and sprinkles.
Then I was still hungry so I had a strawberry shortcake. Now that’s a yummy treat!
While I was in the potty Grandma gave Autumn a lifesaver. She’s never had one and had to check it out.
Once she finally put it in her mouth she liked it until she chewed it up. Then she spit it out because she didn’t like all the little pieces in her mouth.
After Glenwood Springs we decided to drive up to Aspen. Grandma and Grandpa hadn’t been there and rather than ride the little tram in Glenwood Springs we were going to ride the gondola in Aspen. First we went to a park to play. I’m working on being brave and trying new things.
We went exploring near a stream. Grandpa threw big rocks and splashed us and we threw little rocks. Under one we found a worm. Grandpa put it in the stream to see if it could swim. Autumn poked it with a stick. I didn’t want to touch it-Yuck!
We had lunch at Boogie’s (not boogers), then we headed up the mountain. Did you know that at the top of the gondola ride you are 11,212ft high?! Once on the way up it stopped and we were REALLY high off the ground. On the way down it stopped and was blowing in wind. SCARY!!! The whole thing made Daddy seasick.
On the way up Autumn was giving love to everyone. If you know Autumn-that doesn’t happen very often!
These are some of the view from the top.
There were also gigantic hula hoops (AKA hoo hoo hoops) to play with.

We headed back down and to the car. We had a long drive home and it was a busy day!
