"Hayden needs a cowboy hat..."

Danny has many nicknames for the kids and one that has stuck around for Hayden is "Teddy Bear Cowboy", or "TBCB" for short. Danny decided that Hayden needed a cowboy hat and boots and what better place to get them from than F.M. Light & Sons in Steamboat Springs where we got Bronwyn's last year. We let my parents know we were going because my dad will never pass up a chance to eat at the Steamboat Smokehouse, so of course they came. My brother, Rachael, and Drew also came along for the trip. The drive up there was amazing. All the Aspens are changing colors and this may have been the best weekend to see them. Once the leaves turn a yellow gold color and catch a breeze they seem to twinkle. Hayden actually got sick in the car going down Rabbit Ears Pass (same as his mommy did last year). When we first got into town we all went up a ski lift on a gondola ride. It was a fun ride and the kids all seemed to enjoy it.












































Afterward we headed to the store for some cowboy gear. Hayden must have felt exhausted because he slept through the store and me trying hats and boots on him. Bronwyn got to pick out something too and chose a bag of special rocks and a porcelain Indian doll. Then we ate and walked through a few shops and then headed home. We let Hayden try everything on. He's too cute in it all! My dad got him a little gun and holster to go along with it. Trying to walk in the boots was pretty fun to watch at first! Once he got the hang of it he thought he was hot stuff. Bronwyn had to join him and get all her gear on too. Lots of fun for the day! And now lots more cowboy fun to be had at home!
