My son is strange....

So, I feel like I should just let these photos speak for themselves, but an explanation is probably in order. Yesterday, we took Peyton to a local memorial park to run around. He had a ton of fun interacting with the local pooches and running through the grass. When we went to leave, P took it upon himself to hug all of the lightposts. He would run from lightpost to lightpost and wrap his arms around them. He would hug each one for about a minute, pat the back of it and then run on to the next one. It was, in a word, odd.

We think he hugged somewhere between 8 and 10 posts.

Colorado, Part 1

Alright, so here goes my exhaustive recounting of our Colorado trip. The flights to Colorado Springs were alright. We managed to get through it without any major breakdowns (do delays, no meltdowns, yay!). Our saving grace was the children's play area at the Chicago airport. Peyton loooooved it!

On the drive to Salida, we were treated to a beautiful sunset!

Peyton was exhausted by the time we finally made it to Salida - poor little guy was whimpering when we woke him up from his car seat nap.

The next day, Casey and Pete went for a hike with some friends that had relocated to Colorado while I went to shoot some family portraits.

Afterwards, we went into downtown Salida to eat some lunch and hang out with the cousins. Peyton happens to adore Savannah.

I can't entirely remember what we did day-by-day, so the rest of this post might just be a hodgepodge of photos.
