Colorado Trip

As I mentioned in another entry, in June, we took a family vacation to Colorado Springs to visit Monte's brother, Andy, and his wife Angela. It was a wonderful trip and we all had a great time!

We went camping at a KOA (the highest in the nation) up in the mountains where we hiked and enjoyed smores (and yes, Beren enjoyed shoveling dirt). Angela, thanks for finding warm clothes for the kids!
We visited an old mining community turned casino town where we checked out the old mining equipment, and, of course, the old outhouse was a fun attraction!
After saying goodbye to the campgrounds, we took a trip through a dino museum where the kids got to uncover dinosaur bones and say, "Woe, that's a big thigh bone!" We had fun!
Most of all, we enjoyed being with Uncle Andy and Aunt Angela and getting to know them better. I think by the time we left, they were ready to get rid of us. But, they sure showed us a great time. Thanks Andy and Angela!
