A week after our grandparents visited, we enjoyed the company of Kevin & Migdalia along with their 4 kids. Their kids had a long weekend and so did our girls, so it just worked out perfect! The first night they arrived, Bailee had a choir concert. Brianna rode with me over to the High School to attend the concert and surprise Bay. She was so happy to see her there.
We got up the next morning and headed for Estes Park for the day. This fun little resort town is about an hour from where we live and is just outside Rocky Mountain National Park.
We spotted some Big Horn Sheep on our way in.....
We had fun just walking the streets and doing a little shopping.
We also grabbed some pizza for lunch at a local joint. It was nice enough to eat outside, which was good because there were no tables inside...honestly not the best pizza
These girls had so much fun together. It makes it so nice that they have cousins they love to be with:)
What a great way to spend such a beautiful fall day!!
The next day Mark took Kevin and Brandon fishing to Laramie Plains lakes. They didn't do too well in the catching department, but they enjoyed the chase and time together:)
Migdalia and I took the girls to lunch at Panda and then to the park to play while we waited for Bailee to finish her Tech work for the High School musical.
We spent every night playing games. I had no idea these Smith cousins were such game players. We love to play games, so it was so much fun!! I twas a bonus that they knew how to play Ticket to Ride [and even taught us a thing or two] since that is one of our favorites:)
Sunday morning came all too soon. Ashly was so sad to leave, she couldn't even join us for this last photo....broke my heart!! Yes, there were some tears shed {and not just by the kids} and we felt really lonely as they pulled away. Reminded us once again how important family is and how much we treasure the time we do get to spend together.
