WARNING: Very long post!!!!
Addison and Ashlee, aren't those smiles just gorgeous??At the end of May, my parents, sister, and her family all made the trek out to Colorado for a visit. My parents rented 2 awesome condos up in Estes Park so we headed up there for the week. We had so much fun! It was so nice to be able to spend an entire 7 days with my family and not have to worry about craming everything into a short 3 day trip.
We definately did a LOT of stuff, but also enjoyed just hanging out! One of my favorite things we did was one night we sat around the table and made hand puppets (great idea Lissa and Chris) with the kiddos! Now, my sister and I were also drinking some wonderful wine...but even so it was a blast! We were able to go up to RMNP for a quick couple of hours, take the aerial tram to the top and enjoy the beautiful scenery (and Ashlee's fav, feed the chipmunks), check out the Stanley hotel, play at Fun City, attempt a fishing trip (the weather turned bad on us), walk around downtown, swim, playing, sleep, eat, drink lots and lots of wine (one of MY favorite things to do), and just enjoy beautiful Colorado and wonderful family!
Uncle Chris and Ashlee just hanging out (this is one of my fav pictures from the trip).
The hammock outside was a favorite place for the kids to play (and the adults to relax).
Zach and Ashlee were 2 little peas-in-a-pod and had a blast riding their bikes together
The kids spent lots of time splashing around in the pool! I, however, spent most of my time in the hot tub cause the pool was still too chilly for me!
We made it up to RMNP for a quick couple of hours. Here's mom and Ash taking a little hike.
The elk were EVERYWHERE since it was calving season. As you can see they literally were right out our window.***************************************************
Here we are having fun at, where else, Fun City! We rode the go karts, went down the HUGE slide, and my sister and I even got soaked on the water bumper boats (and believe me, it was not that warm out) and Addison got to bungee on the trampoline! Sooo cool!

The kiddos being silly! Ashlee sure misses her cousins already!

Looks like you guys had a great time! I am cracking up looking at this, though, because we went to Fun City on the same day and didn't see each other. AND, Ryan and Austin rode the same John Deere car you did!!
