Colorado

As usual, we had another wonderful family vacation in Breckenridge, Colorado!  We spent the week hiking, playing in the pool, visiting Copper Mountain and Vail, and enjoying our time with David's family.  We were amazed at the amount of snow still on the mountains-we've never seen so many white caps in the summer.  It was a truly beautiful sight!  This post is a picture heavy and shows just how much fun we had on vacation.  Enjoy!

We had a fantastic Fourth of July and hope you all did too!  Summer seems to be flying by and we continue to stay super busy.  We still have quite a few things on our agenda this summer including visiting Smith Mountain Lake, Virginia Beach and Cincinnati.  Hope you're all enjoying your summers!
