August 25th - September








Waiting for the fireworks to start 




Flowers from my dear friend, Katie 















\

Nana and Lissa arrived on Sunday the 26th


Coors brewery tour, Coors is located about 3 blocks from us 


Free beer! 





Helping Lissa with makeup 


Geology trail 





Heading to Boulder for the day 


Gordon leaned up against this rock next to this young lady ; ) 


Melissa, Ella and I got up at 630 am to drive up to Buffalo Bill's burial site on Lookout Mountain.  The only vehicle that enterprise had to rent that fit 6 was a Yukon, kind of ironic to see Mark or me driving a YUKON!  We despise that vehicle and now after driving it we dislike it even more!  It's SO incredibly impractical.  A mini-van gets way better gas mileage, has way more leg room and storage area and is easier to get in and out of.  









Gondola in Breckenridge, CO 







 We spent the day in Breckenridge























We went on the Gondola a second time to spend some time at the resort.  There's a summer fun park at the top. 














On the way home we stopped at Red Rocks amphitheater and museum 












Denver in the distance 





















Farmers Market




We hiked to Castle Rock on Sunday morning 









Another brewery tour on Sunday ; )  








More from the hike, the pictures are a little mixed this post.




Stairs leading to the top of Castle Rock 







End of Coors tour 




Gordon loves to babywear! 






Tickets to see President Obama in Lions Park on Thursday the 13th, just blocks from our house! 


The difference between boys and girls! Ella cuddling with her puppy, Gordon spraying his with a hose. 



A rare rainy day in Golden ; ) 





Our walk to see President Obama in Golden!  We stood in line for about 12 blocks. 




Security 






Helicopters circling 



Their dad works at NREL with Mark, LOVE their shirts!
