Our weekend with the family

We had a great weekend with Bryan's parents and grandparents! Some highlights are taking Eli to preschool and then climbing through the playland at McDonald's, touring New Belgium brewery, walking around old town Fort Collins, going up to Rocky Mountain National Park to hear the elk bugling (their mating call), and having a personal tour (led by Bryan) of Colorado State University! We also spent a lot of time reading books, drawing, putting together puzzles, and eating of course!


Eli's self-portrait

Even Grandma climbed through the playland tubes with the boys!

Silas, smashing his face against the window (how many other kids have put their snotty faces there?!?)

Great-Grandpa Howard reading (another) book to Silas.


Both Grandmas helped Eli put together a 3-D moon puzzle.


Eli and Silas wanted to do some mountain climbing. Grandma and Dad stayed close, but it sure made Mom nervous!

Big Daddy Elk (13-pointer) - he was bugling away and trying to show his ownership of the 18 females that were in his herd. It was really cool to see it up so close!

Fall color in Colorado--basically yellow, but still beautiful.
