My Trip to Colorado!

I finally got to see Colorado! I have always wanted to visit here and Miss April was nice enough to let me come visit and show me around. I was so happy to be here at last…I missed the family trip to Colorado last year to see K’s grandma and grandpa since it was in the middle of our move from Hawaii to Oklahoma. (Yes, while the rest of the family was visiting and having fun I was stuck in a box in a crate on a ship in the middle of the ocean. Good thing I’m not claustrophobic!)

The weather was wonderful and I got to see so many beautiful places. First we went to Westminster Park, a lovely city park that honours all our brave men and women that serve our country. As a proud Air Force family doll it made me happy to know people appreciate the sacrifices people like Miss K’s dad make to keep us all safe and free. The fountain was amazing; I would have loved to play in it but Miss April said no!

Next, my new friend Lani (who is also from Hawaii, so we had lots to talk about) took me to see the Eastern Plains of Colorado. I got to ride a dinosaur when we stopped for snacks! I have ALWAYS wanted to do that! (We pass a dinosaur on our way from our house to Oklahoma City but never get to stop.) Lani and I actually stood on the Rainbow Arch Bridge and weren’t at all scared! I got to wear the beautiful new dress that Miss April gave me (and I know you borrowed it, Kit, as soon as it arrived in Miss April’s surprise box for K. Just because you are a movie star now doesn’t mean you get to wear my clothes!) When we got home even though I was really tired I just had to play with my new dinosaur (who I named Sinclair) ; I can’t wait to see him again when I get home! (Keep your sticky little vinyl fingers off him ‘til then, Kit!)

Miss April let me borrow a REAL princess dress when we visited the San Isabel National Forest, where they have a REAL castle! We stopped to see Palmer Lake on the way and I had my picture taken, which made K’s mom happy since she used to visit there all the time when she was younger. I got to wander through a meadow of wildflowers, which was pretty, but I couldn’t wait to get to Bishop Castle. I got to pretend to be a real princess, exploring the different rooms and staircases. Luckily, there weren’t any dragons!

I had a wonderful time in Colorado and will never forget Miss April and Lani. Mahalo for taking such good care of me! (Lani will know what that means!)
