Spring Break

We are very lucky to have family that live in a beautiful part of the country so we can escape the cold Colorado weather and play in the warm Florida sunshine. Tommy LOVED, LOVED, LOVED playing with his cousin Charlie. They are too cute together. We enjoyed the beach, the pool, a St. Paddy's Day parade and just hanging out with the gang. Thanks so much for a great time everyone. We loved seeing you and the boys had so much fun! It was our first trip with both boys. I think we packed our entire house to get there. The boys did really well but man, it's so much stuff! On our return trip, we had a lay-over in Atlanta which was fine but just added a little more time. Tommy didn't stop talking (literally) for 12-hours and Danny was "finding his voice" on the flight. Danny poop was everywhere (on Mom) shortly after take off from Atlanta to Denver - yummy. But again, they did great and can't complain. When we got in the car to drive home, all Mike could say was "WOW." A different adventure than our travels when we just had to worry about ourselves. About two minutes into the drive home, both boys were sound asleep...of course. Danny's first trip to the beach - a windy day

Sunshine smiles.

Tommy LOVES the piano. He talks about it all the time. In fact, at music class he often chooses to play the piano when one of the few rules is to not touch the piano :) He enjoyed "reading" music and playing Grandma and Grandpa's piano - quite nicely.

The infamous St. Paddy's Day parade. We enjoyed seeing downtown Naples transform to green. All Charlie and Tommy hoped for was a little lollipop and looks like here they got one. Charlie fits right in in his cute, little chair.

The parade lasted for a LONG time but we made our way to lunch after a while. 5th Avenue was quite the scene - everyone's got a little Irish in them to celebrate.

Tommy has recently started some swimming lessons to get a little more comfortable with the water. Good timing because he had fun swimming with his Dad.

Uncle Brian and "fish" Charlie. Charlie is quite the swimmer - show us your stuff.

After all that hard work in the pool, a yummy lunch.

A big treat for the CO Martins, is the beach at sunset! It was a gorgeous night and the boys had so much fun playing on the beach.

First day at the beach, Tommy wasn't so sure. It was a little windy and a new sensation on the feet but he warmed right up to it.
