Beautiful Colorado


We got back this week from a wonderful stay in Colorado. It was filled with fun outdoor adventures, lots of meeting up with friends and family, 2 trips to the Sungy condo in Avon, lots of eating and an all around good time. It's taken me awhile to post pics b/c I have so many of them and was kind of overwhelmed with where to start. So - here is a little picture montage of our 3+ week stay. We loved being home and already miss the mountain skyline, sunny skies, great company, and lack of bugs (Good lord I had no idea how bad the mosquitoes would be in IL in August - Alec and I both look like we have some kind of strange disease.) Thanks for a great trip everyone!!

On the top of Shrine Pass

Alec and Liam celebrating at the summit

Sungys, Stewarts and Abby (Ross had to stay at the condo and work.)


Alec didn't really want to be in the backpack and kind of fussed on the way up the trail, but once we fueled him with food at the top he was ready to go and hiked almost the entire way down on his own.

Riding the Georgetown steam engine train

Checking out the awesome views


Playing at Grammy's sand table. Alec literally spent hours a day at this table - he would wake up and ask for it immediately and it's novelty never wore off.

Miles and Alec - they were pretty good pals this trip. Alec especially loved playing rocks with Miles, and by rocks I mean he loved to take rocks and hide them in Grammy and Papa's flower bushes and then laugh hysterically at Miles as he tore threw the bushes to retrieve the rocks. Sorry Mom.

We miss you already. You did more in CO in 3 weeks than we do all year! Hope you have time to relax and fully settle into your new home now. See you in December!

We are so glad we got to see you guys! James' has offically renamed at least 3 of his trains, "Alec." Hope the fall brings you some cooler weather and less bugs soon!
