Colorado- Part 2

Finally posting the pictures from our time with the Hochstedlers in Colorado. For various reasons, I haven't gotten around to it yet.

So here they are, in no particular order:


Once again, Eli and Evan experienced one of the highlights of their young lives- time with cousins. There's an awesome teenager to look up to, 2 big girls to shower attention on them, 2 playmates their age and a baby to hold.

Horseback riding was one of the highlights for everyone.




A walk close to our cabin.


In the distance you can see our cabin. It was in a beautiful location.


Here Marley enjoys a pampering foot rub from her cousin. (Or is she enjoying it? It's hard to tell.)


This is the Great Sand Dunes National Park. It was amazing. Unfortunately, it was also extremely windy. Spa treatments by sand blasting.


One glorious night, Nana and Papa slept out on the deck with all the grandkids.


We found a reptile farm nearby. These 3 tough men wrestled this monster.




We took some great family pictures. Unfortunately, I'm having problems getting them from the website to my computer. So here are a couple of inferior quality.


I just love my women-in-law.
One of my personal highlights of our time together was when all the males left the premises and we laid out in the sun and talked.


And yes, we are somewhat afraid of this wild and wooly bunch of outlaws.


Our time together was great. It was a celebration of Leonard and Twila's 40th anniversary and Leonard's 60th birthday. They had so many special things planned for us- nature hikes, sand dunes, reptile farm, rodeo, horseback riding, star-gazing, cowboy songs, scrumptious meals, fun things for the kids and on and on and on.

I feel very fortunate to be part of this family.
