The Month Of June: Part Deux

In this installment, we lived through, I mean, thoroughly enjoyed 10 days with my brother, sister-in-law, nephew, and niece. We squashed 6 bodies (plus 2 cats) into our 1-bedroom apartment and had a blast!

We went to the zoo...


While we were at the zoo the tornado sirens went off and we had to hunker down in the basement of one of the buildings for about 15 minutes. That was certainly an interesting experience! The tornado was actually a few miles from the zoo and never got very close, but it got our blood pressure to rise!

Augustine and I loved the elephants the most...


We had fun relaxing at home...




Chrissy and I went on an awesome 7.2-mile loop hike together - girls' day out!


...And then we rewarded ourselves with some of the best fries in town.


We visited Hammond's Candy Factory in Denver...


...And bit off more than we could chew.


Next stop, a day trip to Rocky Mountain National Park!



The kids decided to brave the freezing mountain water...

...And try their hands (and feet) at bouldering!


We were all exhausted by the end of 10 days...


...but it was worth every second. We miss them so much! Come back soon you guys!

Look here for a more in depth picture tour of our adventures!
