Colorado Trip Part 2

This portion of our trip we spent in Estes Park, CO. We went to the Rooftop Rodeo Parade and went on a marshmallow roast at the YMCA of the Rockies. The kids sure had fun.

PGA Fun

Mike and Jill went to the PGA tournament at Whistling Straights on Friday. We had a very nice time. We enjoyed seeing how the tournament unfolded all weekend long. We spent Sunday afternoon glued to the TV. Ben will share who we were cheering for at the end below.

Colorado Trip Part 1

We did our annual trip to Colorado early July. We had such a great time. We did a lot in the 13 days were there. So we are going to break up the trip into several posts. We started our trip flying into Denver and spending two nights at our dear friends the Amundson's house. We also hit a Rockies game which was super fun.

Dana and Craig's Wedding

We had Jill's cousin Dana's wedding in June. It was a beautiful outdoor wedding. Hannah was one of the flower girls. Dana asked any of the girls under the age of eight to be the flower girls. So there was eight little ones that walked down the aisle and dropped flower pedals. Hannah took her role very serious. All but one of Jill's cousins was able to make it to the wedding. So it was such great time seeing all the family.

Pretty girl.
