colorado 4: the big event

sara and sam's wedding was absolutely beautiful, the rain and clouds cleared just in time for a perfectly sunny ceremony to be followed by a great reception. garrett had a great time dancing with jack and running around the reception.

colorado 3: the picnic

on saturday (the day before the wedding) sara and sam hosted a great picnic at a park in boulder. it was a big hit with garrett because the park had a great playground area and he found lots of grapes in the fruit salad, what more do you need?

colorado 2: the house & boulder fun

the whole fam rented a nice place outside of boulder with some great views of the mountains and a great park nearby. garrett's eldest uncles went skydiving, which he slept through, his moms, although, watched every nerve-wrecking moment. we also enjoyed walking around downtown boulder during our vacation!

we are all out in colorado for the week for sara a.'s wedding. today the whole fam went for a hike at horse tooth mountain. everyone took a turn carrying garrett and he was quite a trooper. we also went for a tour at new belgium brewery. by the end of the day everyone was exhausted!

memorial day weekend

here are some photos from our first trip to the cobin of 2009. lots of family joined us for the weekend up north and we also celebrated cindy's birthday. the people who live next door have a horse and let garrett get on it. i'm not going to bother to post the pictures because he wanted nothing to do with sitting on mama's lap on the horse. it was not his thing, but he has perfected the answer to "what does a horse say?"
