Relax

 This year for vacation, we decided to visit our neighboring state of Colorado. This may not look like the most relaxing vacation to you, but it was a nice change from our extremely busy summer.

 We stayed at the YMCA of the Rockies. I can't recommend it highly enough. What a cool place with everything you would want to do on vacation right there.

 We went on their new summer tubing slide. A bit of a fast one for me, but everyone else loved it.

 There was also skating.

 And Rock Wall climbing.

 While the kids and Todd went down an Alpine Slide, I took pictures of the beautiful Colorado flowers.

 Todd, Nathan, and Anna did a giant zip line. Scary!

 Then we had a full day of hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park.

 The wildlife was amazing.

 We hiked up to 12,000 feet just as a storm blew in.

 The path went way up to the top of the mountain.

 Canoeing was relaxing.

 There was even a family of ducks we followed around.

 All in all, it was a great time. Hope you had time for a vacation this summer too.

Love,

xoxo
