Andrew's BirthDAY in Colorado

Andrew turned 4 years old while in Colorado with the entire Peterson relation. Nana made him "bolt" pancakes, and he opened all of the gifts from our family.....all Jr. Ranger gifts....a hat, vest, net, bug sucker, etc. All the cousins went to the back yard and explored/investigated...this was proabably his favorite part of the day. Then to a park with a mountain background. He stubbed his toe and didn't want anyone to touch so it was a rough morning. He finally got over it.

Quiet lunch with Mom and Dad on the deck overlooking the mountains. Then to Keystone Ski area for an icecream treat, play time on a playground and walk by the river/mountain. He feel asleep in the car (3pm) and he was crabby when I attempted to wake him up for his PARTY at 6:30 (someone was exhausted...this was the last day of vacation). After 15 minutes of a break down and crying he finally opened some gifts which put him in a better mood. Then all of his cousins became JR. Rangers (went through the Jr. Ranger training in the Rockies). Ate cake which he cooperated well and then it was time to clean up the house because everyone was leaving in the morning. The kids watched Toy Story and I cuddled with him on the couch for a little while consdiering he was the last one in the house awake (10:30 pm because of his late nap). We gave him lots of kisses all day long and it was fun to be around family to help us celebrate!
