The Fam in Colorado Springs

So a couple weeks ago now, my mom and dad came into town for about a week. They drove up from Texas with a couple stops along the way (Marfa, Tx and Santa Fe). They stayed at our house in the Springs for a night and then I went with them to Estes Park for a mini-getaway. It was great. I hadn't been to Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park since I was little; I didn't really remember it at all. Then, there was my dad who remembered the exact spot where we listened to a park ranger talk about something or another probably over 20 years ago. He has a memory like a hawk...or is it an elephant...? ;)
When we got back to Colorado Springs, we met up with my grandparents who had just arrived to town. They drove all the way from Texas as well. I had a great time showing them around our new town. My grandparents stayed at Cheyenne Mountain Resort . If you are ever traveling to this area, I highly recommend this place. It is reasonably priced, and gorgeous. The lobby is a true work of great architecture. I had breakfast and dinner at the resort with my parents, grandparents, and my friend Kelly several times. It was fan-tastic! I can not explain how amazing the buffet and omelet bar was (especially after a long saturday run).
Thank you Mom, Dad, Gigi, and Pawpaw for coming to see me. I had a wonderful time and I hope you all did as well.
Love you!

We did a little photo session at Garden of the Gods. I don't think Gigi and Pawpaw were very excited about it, but they were great sports. Thank you.




This is classic Pawpaw.




My mom and dad. Aren't they cute?!




I just liked these pictures...Mom and I took a hike in the Park and came across a tree that had fallen over; these are photos of it's roots.
