Aiden left for camp the day after we returned from Colorado.  He loved it and can't wait to go back!!

We spent the 4th of July week right outside Vail in Avon, Colorado and had a wonderful time.  My dad rented a condo for the entire month of July so we drove out for a week and met my sister and her family there.  The boys had a wonderful time with their cousin, Calvin, and enjoyed holding their baby cousin, Graham.   We exhausted Ms. Jane and Grandpa with many games of Old Maid, Chase the Ace, and Murder in the Dark.

Despite a burn warning in Colorado, the weather was gorgeous with cool mornings and evenings and warm sunny days.  We did many things for the first time like white water rafting and fly fishing.  We rode a gondola to the top of one of the mountains in Vail and did a little hiking before stopping for lunch and riding the gondola back down.  John and I were able to enjoy a solo bike ride through Vail similar to what we did virtually every weekend pre kids!

The boys LOVED Colorado and we all enjoyed doing some different activities and spending some time together in a beautiful area.
