Great Sand Dunes National Park

My friend Tom and I spent a few days exploring Great Sand Dunes National Park and the surrounding area back in April. It’s a spectacular valley and we had a great time getting some really good pictures. The trip ended with vomiting at a Walgreen’s.

Spring Break 2019: Colorado

Colorado Springs

We spent the first half of the week in Colorado Springs.

The Penny Arcade in Manitou Springs was a blast and is a must-visit.

The Love Tester didn’t turn out so well for 3/4 of us.

Dat’s Italian in Old Colorado City: awesome food and service.

Loveland

Midweek, we headed up to Loveland to stay with Auntie Car and Unkie Doo. We hadn’t been there since Aly was just a toddler, but we had a blast as we always did on previous visits.

After a great week in Colorado, I dropped the girls off at DEN and then picked up my friend Tom for our adventure at Great Sand Dunes National Park, which is coming up in the next post.

Always a hit with our kids (now just kid), Leah brought a friend to the elementary carnival at Black River. Leah even won one of the big door prizes in the raffle.

Leah found a new friend at a local playground.

Here are some of my favorite pictures I took in January:

Leah’s 8th Birthday

Leah celebrated her 8th birthday with a party at BAM, with bowling, pizza, cupcakes, ice cream, presents, laser tag, and arcade time.

On her actual birthday, she celebrated at home with balloons and presents.

Late January was very cold and filled with snow days of no school

Best Pictures: December 2018

Here are some of my favorite pictures from December:

In search of dark skies, a couple of friends and I headed east from Colorado Springs in early December to a tiny little park called Paint Mines Interpretive Park, where we shot pictures of the distant windmills and the night sky. It was very cold, but lots of fun.
