We have been having a fabulous time in Colorado. We celebrated Carter's birthday the very first day...he turned six. He got some nerf guns so we thought we should even up the odds...which we did with a box Katie's dad had in the basement labeled "weapons." I have never seen so many nerf guns in my life! They had nerf wars galore and I don't know who had more fun...the kiddies or Justin! We took the kids bowling and taht was loads of fun. Camille beat just about everybody including Courtney who may or may not have had the lowest score of everybody...We also celebrated Emma's birthday, she turned the big 7! We went on a really fun hike up to ruins of a castle. The kids got to climb up lots of rocks. Ashley was a big girl and walked the whole way! We would have been golden except that somehow we took a wrong turn and ended up taking a bit more difficult of a hiking trail which took us down a switchback, rocky trail which, incidentally, we ended up having to hike back in order to get to our original trail. the hike ended up being about 3.2 miles and the kids (AND ADULTS) were DEAD TIRED (hence the grumpy faced picture of the kiddies). Courtney was a trooper and carried like half the kids at various times on the hike. We were glad she was there...none of the rest of us have the energy for that. The kids got to go boating with Mike (Katie's brother). They all tried tubing and Courtney wake boarded. Justin took everybody to a Rockie's baseball game. The kids had a great time. Justin talked Jake into wearing Emma's jacket so he could take pictures for use as bribery at some future date. Carter ate and ate and ate and ate. Then, when he got bored, he ate some more. Gotta love that kid. What else? We have seen really awesome thunder and lightning storms, had a fabulous dinner WITHOUT KIDS, gone to the pool and the park...
It has been a great trip. Nana and Papa and Courtney left today, but the Edwardsons are here to stay! (At least for another week...) Hope you all are having as much fun as we are...can't wait for a vacation with everybody next year...

Those pictures are STELLAR! Adam and I decided we are officially jealous of the wide variety of activities you guys picked. I can't believe how big the babies have gotten. Belly is such a big girl now and Basher looks so cute. She's really growing up tons. And Courtney. She's all grown up now, aren't you Courtney. Yes you are!
I agree... all those activities looks like tons of fun! How did you guys fit all that in? Whoever was incharge of planning, you wanna be my event planner for family visits???! :)
