One last Colorado adventure

Here are a few pictures from our trip to Mesa Verde before departing Colordo. It was amazing to see such beautiful creations.

 Here is Laura with Naila. She had to brave slow walkers, steep cliffs and ladders all while carrying little Naila.





We had planned to camp a few nights for this four corners adventure--but when multiple friends with kids gave us that knowing smile and said things like "wow, how daring...", "we tried that for ONE night...", and "you guys are so adventurous..." we decided that maybe a motel wouldn't be a bad idea for this journey. It also may have helped the decision making process when Laura said--"I am NOT looking forward to sleeping in a tent with two babies". Sometimes you just have to admit defeat and enjoy the outcome.



View from inside the Cliff Palace--our guide was very informative and we even got to see some 700 year old artwork!
Our trip was perfectly timed--notice I'm not sweating!

This is Maya in one of her nice moments. She and her sister shared the back seat and were generally in good moods. This turned out to be a great trial run for our cross country adventure to try out feeding times/techniques, and to create ways of entertaining Maya as the trip got longer and longer.
