Road Trip to Pagosa Springs

There are going to be a lot of "firsts" for Logan over the next few years and we started off with a roadtrip full of them.  We drove up to Joe's cousin's house in Pagosa Springs, Colorado for a week around July 4th.  Logan's 1st roadtrip, 1st hail/thunderstorm, 1st time being changed on Mel's lap in the front seat (during said hailstorm), 1st dip in a cold CO river, 1st hike, 1st time seeing and standing in snow, 1st time at 13,000ft, 1st time nursing at 13,000ft (just to name a few).  The weather was a little bit colder than the hot AZ summers we were getting used to so we had to scrounge up every piece of long-sleeve and long-pant clothing we had for Logan.  You will see he had some interesting outfits :)  Overall, we had a great time.  Logan is a happy boy whenever he is outside and we got to spend lots of time outdoors. 

Note to self...a normally 9 hr car trip takes about 5 hours longer with a nursing, pooping infant
Changing Logan on my lap during a hailstorm...thankfully this was not one of the blowout diapers we did have on the trip up.
Enjoying outside dining with Uncle Tony and the Bucci's

Rockin his new track suit (which he wore almost every day due to his inexperienced AZ parents not having enough warm weather clothes for him :) )  
 
Training him early...

1st dip in the cold river



Obligatory (and unnecessary) stop at 4 corners on the way home...been there, done that, don't need to bother again
