Happy 4th of July!

After a few days of catching up back home after our trip to Colorado. The whole family headed to Grand Lake for our annual 4th of July trip! I can only remember 1 time in my life we haven't gone to the lake for the 4th.

Tahoe and Indy love to swim!

All the boats tied up to each other and enjoying some time in the water!

We had a great weekend on the lake!! The fireworks were great and the rain held off until after the show was over!!

"Colorful Colorado"

This year we planned an all family trip to Colorado. The whole gang was there...all 12 of us!!
Brian and I decided that we would leave a day early and drive. It seemed like a great idea at first, and then I started to dread it, but it actually ended up being a lot of fun. We drove out west towards Amarillo, and then headed north through New Mexico and finally Colorado. Colorado is beautiful in the summer, but it was definately different not seeing snow!

We add some great adventures during the week. Some of us hiked 5 miles down the Beaver Creek mountain. I really didn't think it would be that hard, but we were sore the next 2 days!!

The Aspen Trees were gorgeous!

I think we all enjoyed white water rafting!! I think some of us were a little nervous, but after learning one of our guides graduated from Baylor, for some reason I think we felt a little more relaxed! We got all geared up with wet suites, booties, splash jackets, helmets, and life jackets. We then headed into the water for our 12 mile trip! We all survived and no one got thrown in!!

One day we went to Glenwood Springs, Colorado and went to an adventure park and toured the caverns. We took the gondola up to the top of the moutain where the park was. We got to ride an Alpine Roller Coster, which was really cool!

While we were in Colorado we celebrated Adam's birthday and a very special Father's Day.

We had a great trip with lots of rest, adventure, laughs, and Guitar Hero!
