Pictures from Estes Park, CO

What do you get when 29 people get together for a family vacation/reunion in Estes Park, Colorado?

• a herd of elk
• "siblings gone wild"
• one little fish and some other fish tales about the one who got away
• a trip to the ER (John's knee)
• a trip to the chiropractor (Darin)
• people from 8 different states!

• A bicycle made for 4

• 
• 2 drunks in a covered wagon
• Ok...ok...there were 3 drunks there...
• a wilderness adventure trip that made some of us wonder if we'd ever return
  (no, it wasn't because Sam was driving!)
• 6 sore butts after horseback riding
• the continental divide
• a rainbow
• the feeling that you're a little closer to heaven when you're above the clouds at 12,000 ft

• An amazing thanksgiving meal (yep--in August!)

• cozy, precious moments between aunts & nieces, cousins, grandparents & grandchildren, great-aunts and great-uncles & great-nieces and great-nephews, etc...

• watching new friendships blossom between cousins
• And over 300 pictures of one great week together. They're great pictures--I'll post more soon!

Thanks to everyone who made the trip so great! We really missed Val, Eric, Jake, and Bob who couldn't make it.
