N Family Vacation: Colorado

We had a blast spending time with all my family in Colorado this Late July/Early August!

Lori's family and Mom and Dad came to our house for a bit. We ended up garage saling with all of us, four adults and 7 kids. It was pretty crazy, but we got nerf guns, toys, stuffed animals, tools, clothes and more. Then we went up to the cabin in Idaho Springs. The play sets and zip line were a big hit. Ellie got the gist of catching people and returning the rope when there weren't enough adults to help her.

Grandpa kept on the lookout for wildlife and saw: squirrels, fish, blue jays, hummingbirds, deer, other birds and more. He showed us too!

We went on some short hikes:

There were plenty of Nerf gun wars with bad guys:

And LOTS of good food:

Our outings included the Pheonix Gold Mine:

Which turned into throwing rocks:

We also went on a short hike at Echo Lake:

Good times!
