At the end of June the kids and I headed to Telluride to celebrate the 4th and have some sweet family time. We loved every minute of time with our cousins.
These three! :)
We went to the hot springs in Ouray one morning
This was the scene on the way home
We celebrated Mom's 60th!! We are blessed beyond measure to have her for our mom!
We headed to town for the 4th of July parade
This picture doesn't do it justice but we completed a ridiculous puzzle of the Telluride Ski Map over the course of the week
I got to play golf with my little man and Billy
Lessons from Billy. What a view!
:)
A few days after we got home Michael took his board exam. Which we recently found out he passed!! Praise the Lord! We celebrated at our new favorite pizza spot. We were more than thrilled to have him back.
Then a few days after that we headed to Branson, MO for a week with the Merrick crew. We were so sad Matthew, Lauren, Emma and Jordan couldn't make it but we had a wonderful week.
We did a lot of swimming
Some GoKart racing. This guy was pretty jazzed. :)
Ike and his beautiful Mama!
Nana and the girls in their cute hats.
This picture deserves zooming in. Nana was in it to win it on the race track. Ha!
Daddy had us all excited about the fish hatchery.
Story time with Nana
We went to a really sweet baby animal zoo
where the kids got to feed baby camels...
and kangaroos...
and a room full of birds.
We also got to play a couple rounds of golf.
Missing Emma in these.
We got to go out on the lake one afternoon
Kendall liked cruising
Luke much preferred tubing
And much to our surprise, Langley loved it too
It was such a fun and relaxing week. We sure missed the rest of the crew, though.
