Marie's Visit Part One

This summer has been pretty busy. Bill took three weeks of leave and we did a ton during those three weeks. We started with a visit from Bill's mom. We were so grateful she was able to take time off work and drive the long, boring 15 hours from Arkansas to Colorado. It was so much fun having her here!! We tried to do one thing every day she was here. We took her to Garden of the Gods. The first collage are pictures from there. It is so beautiful just walking around and taking in the amazing scenery! The next collage is from Casa Bonita. A cool restaurant up in Denver. Bill and I had gone to it like 17 years ago and we were pretty excited it was still up and running. The inside looks like you are outside a little Mexican village or something. There are cliff divers, little magic shows, a gunfight show and other fun things for the kids like an arcade and little rides. The last collage is from our trip to Helen Hunt Falls. It is amazing that we can drive 20 minutes and be up in the mountains surrounded by some pretty awesome views of the city and of the mountains. It was a good hike but so much fun and so beautiful!
