He had some air! Gabe thrived out in the wild.

We left for our family vacation to Ft. Collins, Colorado a few days after the boys got out of school. Jason's brother Josh, his wife Nicole and their son Ollie live out there and we've been dying to get out to visit. The kids had never been to CO and we knew they would love the mountains! The weather was amazing...everything was much greener than I expected. While we were there, we celebrated Jake's "real" birthday on June 2nd. "Indiana Jones" turned 10! He got a real bullwhip (bought at a ranching store) and a brown Indy hat as well as a satchel to complete the costume, for his birthday. He also got a IJ lego set and a few other IJ's books and items. The child is obsessed! But he's a happy camper. We also celebrated Nicole's birthday, so I included a few pics of her party. One highlight of the trip was going rock climbing. Uncle Josh was a great instructor and the boys had a blast! We tried to convince Abby to try it...I really thought she would...but it was a no go. She had fun just digging around in the dirt. They climbed in Horsetooth Reservoir and it was beautiful. I included some pictures of the view from where we climbed...it was amazing! On the way home, we went through Colorado Springs and visited Garden of the Gods. The boys and Abby had so much fun climbing all over the red rocks. It was a wonderful and relaxing week that went way too fast! Thanks Josh, Nicole and Ollie for showing us a good time!
