Colton Camps

... at the Grand Canyon. And loved it. Of course. Colton has recently been obsessed with the idea of camping. He says he's having a camping birthday party where we'll be camping in the woods. Aunt Jayne (THANK YOU, JAYNE!!)was nice enough to lend us a tent and loads of camping gear so we could camp AT THE GRAND CANYON. No surprise, he loved it. Slept fine. Ate fine (of course). Got up for sunrise. Stayed up for sunset. Hiked. Snuggled. Climbed. Sunbathed.

Colton ---> Martinique

and basically spent the entire week walking around with an entire baguette...

...eating all the ice cream (per usual)

...playing in the sand at all the beaches

...dancing in the rain with his umbrella multiple times a day

...being cute

...and being awed by all the rainbows!
