Colorado

We had such an amazing trip to Colorado!! We loved all the fun things we did and loved being with our family!

Playing and eating at the park.





The grownups had a fun evening dining out at The Fort. We ate buffalo, quail, salmon and the most delicious desserts. It was a very memorable evening!!


We got to ride a train to the top of Pike's Peak. The elevation at the top is 14,110 ft. It was an amazing view!!!!


We spent a day at a Renaissance Fair in Larksburg, CO and we will all say that it was the highlight of our trip!!




Spencer loved all the fairies.

We watched two jousting competitions.

This was a fun ride that the kids went on. All of the rides were "man powered".









We all played many of the fun games...Jacob's ladder, throwing tomatos at a man and archery. We did several others and just forgot to take pictures.

Those who wanted...rode an elephant.

Sarah learning how to do crystal sticks.





We saw many interesting things. We really LOVED this fair and would do again if we ever get the chance again!!




On another day, the kids got to go horse back riding.

Our bishop has challenged our kids to touch a temple this year. Our hotel was close to the Denver temple, so on the way out of town we stopped and touched the temple.
Thanks mom and dad for such a wonderful vacation!!! We loved it all!!
The only bummer part of the trip was our cousins and aunt from Virginia weren't able to come due to airplane connection complications.

Neat trip. Vegetable justice looked particulary interesting. Maybe we should try that as part of a ward activity in late august when there are lots of ripe tomatoes. :-) I'm so glad you took time to touch the Denver temple. I hope that too is a memorable part of your summer.
