Swimming with Abby

A couple months ago while Luke was still in preschool, I did a parent child swim class with Abby. Our friends Aaron and Casey also joined us, and we had a blast! In fact, I am pretty sure that Casey and I enjoyed it more than the kids most weeks :-) Here are a few pictures from one of our lessons

Colorado

A couple weeks ago, I accompanied Vic while he had a work trip in Denver, and then we drove up to Estes Park for a long weekend afterwards. We had not been there since we spent our honeymoon in Estes Park almost 9 years ago, and we had a blast.





We stayed in the same condo we stayed in for our honeymoon, and it was so beautiful and peaceful.







We saw lots of animals close by - I think they are very used to people being around...





Due to late spring snow, the trails we hiked were snow packed, we attempted the first day just in our tennis shoes, and we (barely) made it around with a little slipping and sliding :-)





So, the next day we decided to get snow shoes and poles, and that made it much easier and so much fun too!
These were the falls we hiked up to -






We even had time for some fun activities like miniature golf :-)


We had a wonderful time, and are so thankful to our parents for taking care of the kids so we could have a trip away by ourselves!!
