Colorado Summer Trip 2010

July 23 - August 2


As usual, we had a wonderful time in Colorado.  It's always so good to reconnect with people you love!

Taking a little pizza supper rest break in Julesburg, CO. 

After taking a couple laps around the rest area, we were ready to hit the road again. 

We stayed several days with the Roys in their mountain home in Buena Vista, CO.  THANK YOU!  What a wonderful, peaceful place to be with friends!

Dear Friends, Annemarie & Mike Roy

The kids played and played throughout the days!

One of the many crafts the girls made. 

Ben :) 

Roasting marshmallows in the kitchen for smores! 

Annemarie & Wendy even enjoyed a wonderful time shopping...just the two of them.  Priceless. 

We got to spend time with our wonderful friends The Maggio's.
Lainey, Sophie & Lauryn

The kids and I also visited my dear friend, Tracy, and her kids Alex and Oliver for an afternoon.  

The Roys (minus Ben) at the Colorado Rockies baseball game. 

Go Rockies! 

Lainey, Madeleine, Sophie & Emma at Hammond's candy factory!  This is the only Hammond's candy factory in the world...and it's free to tour.  They make their candy by hand...candycanes, ribbon candies, & lollipops.  What a fun place to visit!   

Wendy & girls...mmmm candy! 

 Wendy & Annemarie...we had just as much fun as the kids!

 Matt enjoying his rootbeer lollipop from Hammond's.

Sawyer's lollipop to make up for not going to Hammond's and taking a nap instead.  He was happy.  :) 

We stayed a night at a hotel and the kids enjoyed time at the pool. 

Visiting with my good friend, Denise.  SO glad she came to visit after just getting back from her own vacation. 

 Matt stayed to do some business in CO, and the kids and I drove back home.  One last surprise was to stop at Build-a-Bear before hitting the long road back to NE.

We stayed in Kearney that night and enjoyed time at The Children's Museum with the kids' cousin, Keaton, before heading the rest of the way home.  Here is Sophie singing her little heart out! 

Sawyer at one of his favorite activities...driving the tractor. 

Keaton dressed up...too cute!

We had a great time on vacation and created wonderful memories!   ...until next time  ♥
