This photo was taken at Lily Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park when Mark, Pat, Arlyn and Carolyn came out to visit. They staying in a motel in Estes Park and we decided to spend a night camping in RMNP. It just so happened that we purchased our new Honda Odyssey on Friday and then drove up to RMNP that very night with the dogs, kids and all the supplies. What a way to break in a new vehicle! We had a great time camping (Bryce's first experience) and even managed to sleep a little with two dogs, a 6 month old, and a 3 year old in the tent.

Family at Coors Field
We went to Coors Field on July 31 as part of our church group. It also happened to be Dog Day at Coors which means people could bring their dogs and sit in a special section. Sydney had fun petting all the dogs on our way to our seats in the upper deck. The Rockies played the Brewers and won 4-2.
The Thomas family at the Embassy Suites
This photo was taken at the end of our stay at the Embassy Suites in Minneapolis next to the Mall of America. We flew out with the kids to welcome back Brian and Katie from the missionary trip in Kenya. They told us it was quite the culture shock to go from the Kenyan countryside to the Embassy Suites and the Mall of America but they took it in stride. We were really happy to introduce them to their new nephew Bryce whom they met for the first time. Sydney had a great time playing and showing them how much more personality she had developed in the year they were gone. It was a great trip and we're so glad to have them back close again. Ok, Alaska isn't really close but it's a lot better than half a world away!

Sydney on her decorated trike for the 4th of July
Where have we been? You know, just around doing stuff. But it's never to late to post some photos so here is some from the 4th of July as well as some from the park. I'll be putting up photos from our trip to Minneapolis to welcome back Brian and Katie soon. Like in less than 2 months!
