I can hardly believe that it has been six weeks since I last wrote. Sorry about that to all those folks who check this blog regularly. We have been extremely busy this summer so over the next few days I'll post pictures and let you all know what we have been up to.
After Dianne's visit, 2 days later, Dave and Charlene flew into town. They had a place they were staying up in the mountains near Vail. It is a 2 hour drive each way so they only came into town every other day or so. They also took a couple days at the beginning of their vacation to drive up to Mount Rushmore. We spent a morning with them exploring Red Rocks. This is the place where they hold many many concerts and an amphitheatre (sp?) was built out of the natural rock formations. We went up to look at the amphitheatre and then took a couple hours hiking an easy hike around the park and snapping all kinds of pictures of the natural rock formations. Below is just a sampling of the natural and awesome beauty we got to see on our hike.
The kids had lots of fun looking at all the bugs, flowers, bunnies, and chasing after Jaden and Alec. That afternoon we went to the Water World theme park. That is an awesome place. It had several areas for little kids to play but also had several large water slides that we could take the kids on and ride as a family. We had a great time and I just wish we had more time to explore all the slides and different areas. It will be much more fun when the kids are slightly older as well. Overall it was an amazing but exhausting day.
We also took them to the zoo and they hung out at our house to just spend time as a family. It was so fun to see them and the kids were sad when they had to go home again after the week was over. But luckily, they only had to wait 2 weeks and then Auntie Melody and cousin Aiden were flying into town for the next round of visitors.
