Colorado Trip

I feel kind of silly finally gettting around to talk about our CO family trip-3 weeks later, but it has been insanity for me recently. I started teaching 2 new classes (yoga and personal fitness) the day after our return and just this week had two big exams. I can proudly say that I am 2/3s done with Stats and Exercise Testing. The end is in sight!! So, our trip was a BLAST. It was so much fun, it was really hard to come back. We really did a lot. We hung out in CO Springs, Denver, Boulder, Ft. Collins and Royal Gorge. Staying with Yogi pau and Vinu maiju was great--although I'm still trying to work off all the food they fed me. This was my first vacation with my family since high school (sad!) and the first including Arie. As my mom said, "This trip was good. No one had a temper-tantrum."
Garden of the God's Park

A view of Pike's Peak from the park

Horsetooth Resevoir, Ft. Collins. One of the most beautiful lakes I've ever seen. hurricane force winds at the lake. we could barely open the car doors to get out! look at Deja's hair!

In front of the world's highest suspension bridge

A few of my most memorable moments:

Running through the Garden of God's park along side Pike's Peak first thing in the morning with Khairie. The sun was just rising and turing the rocks brilliant orange. It was absolutely breathtaking (and not just because of the lack of oxygen).

Laughing so hard that I almost peed in my pants at Horsetooth Resevior. The wind was blowing so hard you couldn't stand up straight, breathe or hardly see--all you could do was laugh.

Picnicing outside of royal gorge. All I remember is cheetos and kettle corn flying.

The entire trip was so much fun. I can't wait to go back!

Beautiful pictures!
I thought Deja had a lot of gel in her hair to get it to stick up like that!
