Once we reached Colorado, we rented a condo and spent the week hiking and exploring the towns around the park. Micah had fun seeing his first waterfalls, putting his feet in a stream, sitting on logs and rocks, hiking, and seeing elk and moose. He also got some cute shirts to round off his stay and match his cute diapers. In addition, he had his first day away from Mom while I went on a hike with Matt and Grandad and he stayed with Nana. Nana says he did well, except for his dislike of naps, until the evening when he got anxious for Mom's return.
On the way back we stopped at Great Aunt Debra and Uncle Matt's house again and went boating with them the next day on the Missouri River, another first for Micah! He really liked the sound of the boat.
Overall, Micah was a trooper for the 14-15 hour driving time trip there and back. He was mostly content to sleep or play with his toys while we traveled. His current favorite toy is his moose, which we found very fitting for the trip!
