Colorado Vacation

We had a wonderful opportunity to travel to Colorado with some friends at the end of July. We enjoyed a week of great company in beautiful nature.

Aidan needed a roadside pit stop. Great Sand Dunes National Park

Cute Cows

I dressed Aidan & Kiersten up as cows to get free lunch at Chick-Fil-A last week. Aren't they the cutest cows you have ever seen?

We headed north to celebrate the Fourth of July.

The first stop was a Minnesota Twins game in their new ballpark.

Next we headed up to the lake. Aidan was really excited to try all the fun activities. It was his first time to ride in a tube behind the boat by himself. Kiersten in her life jacket. Aidan and the sparklers Kiersten with Aunt Karen at the rainy campfire
