Colorado Springs

Jared is one of seven siblings so this year we did our first family reunion.  Jared and I were in charge and being the engineer he is he plugged everyone's address in and Colorado Springs was the center point outside of the east coasters.  

We rented a historic house in downtown Colorado Springs and it was perfect.  We spent the week hiking Garden of the Gods.  Erin did her first rock climb with Aunt Brittany.  Jared took Eliza white water rafting and Ike and I went to the cliff dwellings.  We spent an afternoon at the penny arcade, Ike celebrated his 5th birthday!  And Jared and I found Blue Bell Ice cream.  We enjoyed games and dinner together as an extended family and it was just a great vacation.
