Vacation in Estes Park

The family took a few days to vacation in Estes Park, CO. What a gorgeous area! We stayed in a cabin at the YMCA camp there from Monday to Thursday. There was plenty for the kids to do like swimming, crafts, mini-golf, horseback riding, hiking, biking, and tons of deer and elk to gaulk at. We took A LOT of pictures to feel free to check them out in the Photo Album.

Sara, Gavin, and Aubri got on a plane today to visit Minnesota one last time before we head to Flagstaff. Micah and I stayed here in the Springs to do some packing. I'm sure he'll do a great job unpacking anything I put in a box :) Sara and the kids will be gone for a week, then we'll have about a week to fill our ABF U-Pack trailer. Our stuff will be picked up on the 24th and will arrive in Flagstaff on the 1st of July. We'll have to take our time traveling to our new destination. It sounds like there are many scenic routes and stops we can make on the way. Maybe we'll make one of our last stops at the Grand Canyon... we'll see.

Aubri's 5th Birthday

Today was Aubri's 5th birthday. We had a hawaiian/aquatic/hula sort of theme per Aubri's request. Thankfully we had fitting weather for such a party. Sara made an awesome Barbie cake that everyone loved.
The kids did waterballon fights, hot-tubbing, trampoline, limbo, stick the shades on the flamingo (like Pin the Tail on the Donkey), ate food, and did more hot-tubbing. There are a few more pictures in the photo album.

I also put together a video for a song I wrote for Aubri a few years back:
