Evergreen Lake!
On Wednesday, we headed over to Evergreen Lake for a picnic. It was so beautiful there, and the kids enjoyed running around. My mom, sister, and I were all taken aback by the beauty and green all around us. The kids wouldn't stop climbing on this statue, so we finally decided just to make it a photo opportunity!
Family BBQ's!
The whole point in us driving up to Colorado was to spend time with my grandparents, my father's parents. When we all decided to drive up there, other relatives decided to fly into town, and it became a big family reunion of sorts. We had a family BBQ almost every night, which was so great to spend that time with my grandparents and other family members. At this particular BBQ, my uncle got a pinata for the kids. As you can see below, they had a blast with it! There were lots of great-grandchildren running around, and my grandparents were thrilled to have everyone together! It has been way too long! My grandma is in the pink shirt in the last pic, sitting in a chair.

My cousins, Kim and Gina. We all spent a lot of time together when we were little.
Tiny Town!
On Monday, we went to Tiny Town, which is about a mile from where we were staying. It was so cute! It had all these little houses with a ton of details inside the window. We packed a picnic lunch, bought our train tickets, and headed into the park. We noticed that there were some clouds, but it was hot...so we weren't worried. After about 15 minutes of looking at the houses, we headed to the playground. That was when we felt a couple of raindrops, but we were going to tough it out! We decided to eat lunch while it began to downpour! We literally had to hold the umbrella (which just happened to be in the back of our car!) over our children as they ate! Dae-Sung and I were getting soaked! As we began to realize that the rain wasn't letting up, I grabbed Abby and DS grabbed Caleb and we ran to the car...and had our picnic in the car. As we were eating though, the rain got harder and harder, and eventually, we found ourselves in a full on hail storm. The kids were scared, and having grown up in Colorado, it brought me back to several hail storms where my mom's strawberries and roses were ruined! Needless to say, we didn't get to ride the train, or even play on the playground, but my kids experienced their first hail storm!
Rockies Game!
The next day, on Sunday, our same friends, Amy and Chris, arranged a suite for our entire family at the Rockie's Game via Chris' mom, who works for them. It was a great experience! We had food catered, a small living room, and seats out to the field. The kids could go back and forth and didn't feel cramped one bit!I am worried that my kids will think this is what a baseball game is all about...couches, food at your fingertips, playing in the box...The view from the stadium was absolutely gorgeous! It was a beautiful and wonderful day! Oh yeah...and the Rockies won!
Casa Bonita!
We drove from Steamboat Springs down to the house we were staying in for a week with my whole family...in the Morrison/Evergreen area. The next night we headed to Casa Bonita with our friends Amy and Chris and their kids, for Rylee's (their daughter) birthday. Casa Bonita is a super fun place with not so good Mexican food...but it has diving shows, haunted caves, a jail, a puppet show, an arcade, and much much more. I was lazy and only took pics of where we were eating instead of the whole place. I wish I could upload pics from when I was a little girl at Casa Bonita...it hasn't changed a bit!
