Pagosa Springs, CO

We spent Labor Day weekend with Doug and Mona in Pagosa Springs, CO. It is gorgeous up there in the mountains and was a welcome relief from the sweltering heat and humidity. We flew into Albuquerque early Saturday morning and drove 4 hours over the prettiest landscape to get there. Autrey and Doug immediately went golfing while Mona and I played with Dylan and took him on a walk. The next morning, we played on the trampoline in the backyard of the rental house: It wore Dylan out. He was ready for a nap in the crib/prison Autrey created:

We did a lot of hiking this trip. I did MUCH better with the exercise than I did last year. Remember that? I was 6 months pregnant and was hospitalized the week after I got back from Estes Park, CO because I had started going into preterm labor and didn't realize it. No Labor Day labor this time.

Treasure Falls:

Ahhh, so Dylan... Then we drove over to Silver Falls. It was definitely a more vigorous hike to the top. My heart was racing. Mona stayed with Dylan in the truck, who had conked out. He was really tired and somehow was able to fall asleep on the bumpiest road I have ever been on. There was even a sign saying small cars were not supposed to drive on it.

Very steep. I kind of surfed on the rocks down:
We wanted to see how Dylan would react to the tall grass, since he usually is not a fan. He didn't seem to mind it:

We visited the Springs Resort to 'be healed' in the hot mineral springs. It had lots of pools at different temperatures. Dylan got in the coolest one (95 degrees) and loved splashing around. The sulphur smell didn't bother him one bit. I love these pictures... ...which I didn't take, unfortunately. These are straight off their website. I decided that a camera + smelly sulphur water = a bad idea.
