Coopers in Colorado

Yesterday AM (very early), Justin's family left to head back to MI. Then flew in on the 4th, and stayed for the whole week! Ma Cooper, Aaron, Paul & Melissa and their two kids Ashley, and Aidan came out...and yes they all stayed at our house! It's a good thing we all like each other, because it was very crowded, but we made it work. List of activities included the norms: RMNP, Coors, Red Rocks, Hammond's Candy, Celestial Seasonings, Boulder, and Garden of the Gods. We also went to 2 Rockies games (cause we had so much fun at the 1st), held a surprise birthday party for Mom at Wine Loft, downtown (thanks again Jen for helping!), grilled out a lot, went to the farmer's market, ate a lot in general. There was hardly any down time, but it was perfect. We all had so much fun, and can't wait until we can do it again! Thanks again for flying out guys! Thanks for checking the blog...

Aidan listening to Coors Brewery tour...it's not that exciting

Every time we go up to Estes Park, we always see this big colorful slide, so we took this opportunity to finally go on it! Yes, that's mama cooper still in the back.

We told Ashley that this should be her senior picture...she just has to wait 5 years now

Garden of the Gods

Even the dogs wanted to climb on the rocks...I think

Great pic of Aidan. He was finding all the good spots that day!

This was in Estes Park...does it concern anyone else that the dog grooming place is right next door to the chinese restaurant???
