my weekend

my extended family just got back from spending 4 days in colorado. wow, was it fun!! we went on a bunch of hikes, which i had never really done before. we walked around a few lakes, climbed to see some amazing water falls, did a little rock-climbing, and even slid down part of a mountain in the snow! most of the time we were wearing shorts and t-shirts (even where there was lots of snow), but we got a little taste of the normal mountain weather with some lightening strikes and rain. we stayed at the amazingly-beautiful ymca of the rockies, just outside of estes park. they provided meals, activities (mini golf, sand volleyball courts, swimming, etc), and even a room for our family to hang out in the evenings. the 22 of us played alot of catch phrase, cards, and even musical chairs! :) we were there mainly to honor my grandparents' 50th wedding anniversary, but we also had 2 birthdays to celebrate - so we also had plenty of cake!!

while at letourneau i usually forget how much i enjoy hanging out with my family. when we get together, we always laugh a lot and have a blast with the little cousins. i'm always reminded of my love for children and how much i can't wait to have nieces and nephews of my own!!
