This past week our little family took a trip to Denver, Colorado to see an allergy specialist up there. We decided to drive because flying was too expensive. It made for a fun little road trip, and we all had a blast.
The boys rode in the car for a little way in their pjs. They slept for about the first 2 hours.
The first night we stopped in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The next morning we made a detour and rode the train up to the top of Pike's Peak. Notice the boys are eating ice cream and Chris is drinking coffee. It was 88 degrees at the bottom of the mountain.
It was the perfect time of year. The aspen trees are turning a beautiful vibrant yellow.
The streams and waterfalls that were along the train tracks were gorgeous.
The views at the top of Pike's Peak were breathtaking. I can definitely see why they inspired the song "America the Beautiful."
It was 30 degrees at the top.
That evening, we drove the rest of the way into Denver, Colorado. We had a little bit of time before supper so we decided to let the boys try out their Top Golf skills.
The next morning was the doctor's appointment. Chris and Heath were both retested for their allergies. Heath amazingly sat perfectly still and let the doctor draw blood from his arm. He was fascinated with the blood shooting out of his arm and into the tube. However, he lost it when it was time for his allergy testing. Hunter and I stood outside the room, and Hunter cried because we could hear Heath crying so hard.
We headed home after that, and spent two more days on the road to get home. It was exhausting and we may have gone a little stir crazy.
We are so glad to be home and back at school. I will update about the new allergy treatments in a few weeks if we see results.
