Visitors upon visitors

I think all our visitors for the entire year came within a three week period of each other.  We had 4 sets of visitors within 18 days!!  That's actually a little LESS than 3 weeks!  Surprisingly, none of them overlapped, so that's good.

1st:  The first visitor was my sweet mom, which I blogged about here.

2nd:  Next came our friends Nate and Kim all the way from San Francisco.  They were here because Nate is looking into different rotation possibilities for podiatry school but we're glad they made time to visit us!  During the week, while Brody was at work and Nate was at clinics, Kim came with me to my nannying job for a few hours.  In the evenings we enjoyed going out to eat in Old Town, going for a walk around city park, watching a movie and just chatting for hours on end.  On Friday night we went camping in Vedauwoo and then they left from there the next morning to go back home.





The boys did some climbing...

....While me and Kim (and Salomon) watched and chatted.
I learned from our last climbing experience at Vedauwoo that this type of climbing is not for me.











3rd:  My beautiful sister Jessica stayed with us for a few days on her way back to Utah from living in Texas for the summer (Brad was selling security systems there and is planning to stay until September).  We enjoyed going on a bike ride, going to the park with the kids I nanny for,  watching Planet Earth and working on a few projects that I have going on at home (it was GREAT to have her there to help me).  Sadly, we were having too much fun and only got one picture.



4th:  Last but not least, my fabulous in-laws came for a quick weekend visit.  We had fun eating out, playing games and visiting Rocky Mountain National Park and Estes Park.

Eating at Coopersmith's -- one of our favorite restaurants


I love the big, old coca-cola brick wall


Alpine Visitor Center -- located at 11,900 feet








WIND!!!


Checking out the Stanely Hotel

We had so much fun with all our visitors!!  We hope that's not really all the visitor's we'll get for the rest of the year {Right, Bundy's?? Right??? Wink, wink}.  We welcome visits from anyone!  If you read my blog, consider yourself invited.

That is a lot of visitors and I'm glad I could be one of them! Thanks again for letting me come. And it is sad that we only got the one picture! Also, you look really cute in the pictures with Varsi and Con.

That is a lot of visitors in a short time. I'm glad I could start it all off :) It's awesome that CO has so much to offer, otherwise people may not want to visit you so much. . . jk- people would come JUST for you guys. Looks like Brody's new shoes came. Is he liking them? Did the other ones go into the trash? Somehow I'm thinking not...
