What I Did on my Summer Vacation

Things I Saw in Colorado

A baby who stole my first ever Sonic cherry limeade.


Mountains. Honest to goodness mountains.

A park in the trees that was quintessential Colorado.

A Papa who shares his watermelon.

A really cool slide at the Focus on the Family visitor's center...

...and a little girl who loved the adventure.

A wardrobe that opens into Narnia.

Enough sunshine to make a former San Diegan weep with joy.

Cousins old (Silas, age 2)...

...and cousins new (Eliana, age 4 months).

The wild, wild west.

An old-fashioned church that a cowboy built for his wife.

A working cattle ranch.

A working cattle ranch dinner. (Holy cow, that was some seriously yummy grub.)

Family.

Luke's Daycare.

The Garden of the Gods.

My kids making themselves at home in God's Garden.

Rock climbers.

Thunderheads.

The Broadmoor.

Danger.

One of my favorite blogging friends in real life -- Angie from Flibbertigibberish.

Angie's kids and mine getting along like they were destined to grow up together.

Veils of rain.

A full-scale replica of how most of the world lives, thanks to the Compassion HQ tour.

Artwork from kids rescued from poverty.

Jesus.

Love.
