second trip of the year to colorado


We spent last week in Colorado. The family used to go to Vail every year, and we hadn't been since 2005, so it was great to be back. We had a terrific week, spending a lot of time with my mom, dad, brother, Glo, Justin, Tiffany, Kylee, pork chop...errr Taylor, Jared, Aunt Glo, Shannon, Lee, Daniel, Kai, and even friends Jeremy and Emily, and most days we had a big activity, including a couple hikes, mountain biking (after both of us fell, including me flipping over the handle bars, we realized single track isn't for us), trail running, and of course, shopping. Lelaine ended up with the best souvenir, a snowboard.

Saturday the family headed back to the midwest and we drove to Rocky Mountain National Park. After a quick stop in Estes Park we went into the park, hiking to Dream Lake (amazing) and driving part of Trail Ridge Road up mountains, above the tree line into tundra. That night we went to Boulder and flew home Sunday afternoon. Here are pics.
