Colorado Vacation (Part 1)

Since Darren switched jobs this Summer, we ended up with an extra week of vacation time. We decided to go to Denver to visit family and find a little relief from the heat.

All Julie's side of the family.

We found out that there were still a few runs open at Arapahoe Basin. The boys decided to try skiing with Uncle Ben. It was a sunny, warm June day, perfect for hitting the slopes.

Aidan turns 5!

On June 19, Aidan turned five years old!!

We started the weekend of celebrating with a family dinner at Rainforest Cafe.



Kiersten was not too sure about the elephants near our table.
















On Saturday, Aidan had a party for his friends. He chose a science theme and we hired a company to come to our house to entertain the kids with experiments and projects.










































































































































































On his actual birthday...



Happy Birthday Aidan! We love you!!
