Colorado

The day after Thanksgiving we flew to Grand Junction, Colorado to visit Grandpa Joe and Grandma Debe. We had a really nice visit. It was really cold...like 16 degrees cold! We were hoping that it would snow and on the 2nd to last day that we were there, it finally did. Emma was so excited! She couldn't wait to catch a snowflake on her tongue.


If you are wondering what is up with the fish in a lot of Emma's pictures, it is because it was her turn to bring home "Angel" her classes pet at school. Each student is to take the class pet home and take pictures of the things that they do and places that they go with Angel and then write about it. Needless to say, Emma and Angel had a blast together.
