Family in town...

Sherri, Chris, Chloe and Carter came out to stay with us for a whole week. We were so excited to have them come. It was such a fun week. It went by way to quickly. We started out with a trip to Rocky Mountain National Park. We had done this trip several weeks earlier but loved it and wanted to show them around. The hiking was so much fun and the kids were good little troopers considering the heat. Later in the day we walked around all the little shops in Estes Park and had to get my favorite fudge and before leaving we ate at our favorite little BBQ place. SOO GOOD! The next day we did school shopping for the girls all day. That is always my favorite. I love shopping. However Kierra even though she is only barely 6 has a very strong opinion of what she will and will not wear. (she likes skater style, nothing tight or too cutsy) So we didn't always agree on everything but oh well, she'll be stylin' her way.


















Tuesday we went to Denver to The Wildlife Experience museum where the kids could do the Globeology exhibit. Its a wildlife experience that covers four major habitats, from the Great Plains to the Rocky Mtn. Peaks. The kids loved it. It didn't take very long but it was very realistic and the animals are really lifelike. We walked on a path that took us through the whole exhibit. Oh and before we did all that we had a fun lunch with animal shaped chicken nuggets which the kids of course loved. It was a fun day.(the weird mirrors were the funniest thing ever)











Wednesday we went to a water park right here close to home. It was soo fun. Sherri and I did the slides right off before the lines got long. I could do water slides all day, but that wouldn't be fair to Josh to have to watch the kids all alone:)









Thursday we did a little bit more shopping and later that night the guys watched the kids while Sherri took me out to get a body massage. Oh it was so heavenly! I need to have those done more often. Just to even be without the kids was nice for a change! That was so nice of you Sherri, thanks again! The next day they left and we all sat around here wondering what to do with ourselves. It was great to have them stay with us for the week though and we hope they enjoyed it as much as us:)
