Denver September 2011

Well, as late as this post may be, at least it's here finally! My goal is to get completely caught up on our blog before the baby comes (more nesting to do, I guess). So, here is a fun post about our trip to Denver back in September. We actually left for Denver about three days after we got home from San Diego, but you wouldn't know it from this blog:)

Ben had a work retreat somewhere in the mountains that he attended for four days while we were there. That left Tommy and I to spend some wonderful time with Stephanie, Grandma, and Grandpa.  We spent the whole week Chatterton-style:  totally chill and restful.  We went to the park, played outside in the sandbox, and shopped at our favorite thrift store.  We stayed home a lot and played with cars and trucks, watched movies, and went for short walks.  It was a great week.  The videos and pictures tell it best, so I'm just going to post those below.  Enjoy!
This is Grandma and Tommy at the grocery store.  I think it was one of Tommy's favorite outings all week.  They have these super fancy cars for the kids to ride in.  It has a little TV on which to watch cartoons, plus the regular steering wheel and the doors that open and close.  Tommy felt like a king.  At one point we picked up a sample of strawberries from the produce department and Tommy just sat back, ate his snack, watched some TV, and enjoyed being pushed around the store in style.
This is a pretty typical evening at the Chatterton's.  We love spending time there because we get to relax and catch up on our favorite TV series.
Here are Stephanie and Tommy together.  Steph was Tommy's best friend the entire week.  She was so cute to play with him whenever he wanted her to (see the video below about playing Rumble).  Every morning when Tommy woke up his first question was always, "Where's Stephanie?"  If she was still sleeping he had a hard time waiting for her to wake up and come play.  Thanks, Steph, for being such a cute aunt and friend.  Below are a couple of videos of Tommy playing with his best buddy.


Here is a video of Tommy playing with Grandpa:

We love you, Chattertons, and we can't wait to see you again soon!
