Colorado Trip - Day 1

June 23, Ryleigh and I flew to Colorado for my best friend, Courtney's baby shower. Such a different experience traveling with a more independent child, who's potty trained (no diaper bag!). Ryleigh had just finished up a lesson block at school talking about transportation. So she was totally stoked for an airplane ride. Chris dropped us off at the airport nice and early. We had some time to watch the planes take off and land before getting ready to board our plane.

See how excited she is!

Waiting for Courtney to pick us up! Someone's tired!

We went to lunch and then home to let the little bugger take a nap. Courtney teaches at a dance studio. She teaches 3 and 4 year olds on the weekends, while her friend teaches a 3-4 year old pre-ballet and tap class on Thursdays (the day we arrived). Her friend let Ryleigh take a trial class, even though she's not 3 yet. Parent's aren't allowed to watch as it's too distracting for the kids. But the teacher said Ryleigh did great and had a lot of fun. She even liked the tap portion of the class. Apparently a lot of kids get freaked out during that part due to the noise. So now we'll have to consider dance class this fall.
"I like dance class!"

Grilled pizza for dinner was yummy too! Fun filled first day in Denver (okay we were actually in Littleton).
