Family Pictures

My neighbor Shauna is an amazing photographer and took our pictures while everyone was visiting.  Here's a look at some of my favorites:

 

I LOVE this picture.  Just look at the faces.  Every. Single. One.

More Family Fun

With the Gonzalez Bunch around, we did a lot of game nights.

We also spent a day at Elitch Gardens in Denver.  Everybody had a great time despite the heat.

Dexter had a great time and never got lost.  He even managed a little nap at one point.

Don't we look like we're having fun?

Andres and Addie on one of the kids rides.  Andres' face on this one was priceless.  He was grinning and excited the whole time until the ride would drop (it did this about 10 times) and he would look terrified or like he was going to lose his lunch, then he would go back to smiling.



Grandpa and Dad took the kids on a little roller coaster.

On the boat ride.

Rocky Mountain National Park

In September, the whole Gonzalez family came and we had lots of fun.  We got to explore a bit of Colorado that we hadn't yet.  Before Kevin, Caitlin and Jude arrived we went to Estes Park and in to Rocky Mountain National Park.  It was a beautiful drive and the kids did great.  A herd of Elk walked right in front of our car as we were trying to turn out of the visitor center.  There was a forecast for rain, but we decided to give it a go anyway.  Right before we got into the park it started raining and thundering, but it ended up being a blessing because the park was technically closed and we didn't have to pay the $20 a car to get in.  Once in, we got a little lost.  But this too ended up being a blessing because by the time we found where we wanted to be, it had stopped raining!  It was a fun day for everyone!

The kids had a lot of fun climbing on the rocks.

Dexter had a lot of fun running around as long as he was kept from jumping in the water.
