Lucky for the Escorcia family because the Kliefoth/Ekedahl family took their summer family vacation to Colorado which we were so excited about because that meant we were able to see them multiple times during their stay in Denver and Vail! We loved seeing them. All the fun pictures below show our wonderful times together but, my post however, is quite late because we suddenly were busy with more activities that prevented me from sitting down at the computer like...
...Simon and me celebrating our 9 year anniversary at the delicious melting pot and...
...having play dates in the creek and...
...being creative building bridges...
...going to the Rockies game and...
...riding the cog railway up to Pikes Peak with my mom, Aunt Susan, Uncle Nick, my cousins Matt and Darcy, their spouses (Krista and Drew) and their kids Nicholas, Micheal, Nina, Jacob and Cameron.
Such beautiful views from the top of Pikes Peak
Our family was staying at the famous Broadmoor hotel in Colorado Springs so after our trip up to Pikes Peak all the kids and dads enjoyed some pool time fun.
Simon getting some play time in with the kids and enjoying...
...tossing them high in the air.
Time with the Kliefoth/Ekedahl family.
First of many fun events included the Kliefoths coming down to our house for dinner and later we enjoyed walking to our favorite dessert place...
...Yogurt land. Yum!
Here's Kel and Lainey bust'n a move on Xbox connect Dance. So cute. I love that Lainey is a mini-blond-Kel.
After a fun night Dylan, Ava and I joined them the next day for their trip to the Denver Zoo.
The Mandrill was the coolest of the animals that we saw because...
... he was pretty active and a little scary when he hit the glass and hissed at the kids.
Time for the parents to enjoy a yummy night out at Rootdown and Linger without the kiddos. Thanks for the great laughs!
After their Denver stay the Kliefoths headed up to Vail for a week but...
After their Denver stay the Kliefoths headed up to Vail for a week but...
...we soon joined up with them again on Saturday for a ride up the Vail gondola to...
...check out the views...
...brainstorm song ideas for a performance of...
...jingle bells and...
...later explore the mountain peaks and...
...hike around the trails...
...while finding cool things in the forest.
One of the many things I love about Ava is her fearless, adventure side. While she was jumping and flipping high in the sky...
...Dylan and Lainey enjoyed their pony rides.
Giddy up.
Thanks for letting us join you for a fun day in the mountains.
While in the mountains we also loved getting to spend time with Grampy and Sharona and also...
...getting to see Grampy's new but, old toy!
Time to get ready for the Kliefoths and Peg to come over to the Stenson house. Thanks mom for cooking a wonderful dinner and...
...thanks guys for coming over.
The kids all played so well together while we enjoyed your company and my parents loved visiting with your family and Peggy.
Last but, not least it was almost time to say good bye with one more visit with them in Vail at the farmers market and a little play time at Pirate Ship park and...
... some cooling off time in the creek. We loved seeing you guys. It sounds like you had such a fun vacation in Vail. We were so excited to be able to spend time with all of you on some of your adventures and...
...I loved getting to spend time with your adorable kids.
