Colorado 2011..

So we went to Colorado for 8 days..

(top of Pikes Peak, 14k feet)

to see my "little" brother, Paul, graduate from the Air Force Academy. This was his commissioning.. now he is a 2nd Lt.

and now he is going to do this: (that'd be combat rescue)

Some enjoyed playing hide-n-seek..

others enjoyed hiking..

Some enjoyed sitting..

all enjoyed chasing daddy..

some of the awesome people responsible for the trip.. Graddaddy and dad (Jim).

a wonderful "Unkey Joe"

Some silly people: colin (cousin) and rachel (little sister).

enjoying their silliness (also little sister Ruth)

even our littlest loved Colorado..

visited the local wildlife... (at the zoo).

we even fed the animals (with Nana's help). .

It was an amazing zoo, in the side of a mountain..

We had an amazing time. And came back to record heat in Alabama. 15 degrees above normal for this time of year. Wow. Guess I should've enjoyed the Colorado weather more.
