Rocky Mountain High

And the summer of let's-get-outta-here-and-cram-in-as-much-"family-of-three"-time-before-we're-four continues! We spent a wonderful week in Colorado seeing my parents, sister and sister's family (we missed you Aurora and Cristal!) as well as Aunt Cindy, Uncle Matt and cousin Austin (and apparently Uncle Steve -- Austin's friend who Camille thought was another Uncle). Colorado provided a much-needed reprieve from this blistering heat. Our first stop was Vail then on to Denver (where we also saw my cousin Katie and her son Zander!). What a wonderful vacation...now we're home for a looooong time, ready to prep for baby (who at the moment is making himself known as he appears to be creating a mild but painful case of sciatica -- not pleasant) and prepping to put our house on the market. Let the good times begin!

By the stream in Vail...

Cousin Eva posing with her pal Al

At the sandbox with Gran (who was so kind to pack a ton of fun sand toys -- thanks, Mom!)

Camille & Eva, just chatting...

Wonderful Gran and Granddad

Two family portraits in one summer! Apparently Camille wasn't too thrilled....

An attempt at a larger family shot...

In Denver...Camille mooning over new pal Zander

So fun!

At the Aquarium in Denver!

Coloring with Aunt Cindy's fabulous art supplies -- thanks Cindy!

Ahhh...just chillin' in the Colorado sun...

Hope to go back very soon! And yes, we did not get any pictures of Camille with Aunt Cindy, Uncle Matt or Austin...what were we thinking?! We'll just have to go back.
