Trip to Colorado

Denver Ranch:
On our way out camping for our family reunion with my family, we first stopped in Dallas, TX to spend the weekend with the Foulgers. we had a lot of fun and are so thankful for them letting us stay and visit with them. Somehow we didn't take any pictures but we did have a lot of fun swimming while burning, and seeing UP in 3d that was awesome!

We then drove up to Denver where coincidently Sarah and her family were there for her friend's wedding and spent a day with her with the hospitality of the Braherds. It was so nice to meet them and see all their animals. Here are some pictures of some of them.


FISHING:
Eventually we made it to camp and had soooo much fun with everybody. The girls of course loved spending all day with their cousins, running around, and getting filthy everyday! Here are some pictures of when we went fishing.





S'MORE FUN:
Of course we had to make s'mores...camping just isn't camping without s'mores. Here are some captured moments.





We went camping at Jellystone Park in Estes Park so of course the girls needed a picture with Yogi! My parents got all the grandkids lunchboxes with Yogi, Boo-Boo, and Cindy Bear on the front.

HIKING:
we were camping right next to Rocky Mountain National Park so we did some hiking up there in the mountains and had so much fun. The kids did amazing and actually had very little complaining about the distance and such. It was awesome!
Here are Aiselyn and Abby with their cousins Lydia and Elyse.

Lydia, Connor, Ethan, Aiselyn, and Abby by the river.

Here's me diving off a huge boulder to the rapids below!
Not really, I was scared out of my pants being that high and close to the edge. I don't particularly care for heights, to say the least!
Here's my muscle man!

Here's some of us hiking.

This is us on a boulder by a waterfall we hiked to.


Here is us by the waterfall with my parents.
