Little behind on my usual updates, but lots of pics and quite a few from the Del Mar Fair.  Unfortunately, I didn't take pics of the delicious food...like the deep fried bacon cheese bombs (amazing!) and the new item this year that was outstanding...it was a hamburger with beef patty, chorizo patty, chile relleno and avocado on a pretzel bun.  Thought the pretzel bun would be a bit weird, but the whole combo was fantastic.

We had an awesome trip to visit Aunt Kerry and Uncle Patrick in Denver this past weekend and we also got to see Grandma Molly and Grandpa Dirk there!  It was a ton of fun.  Here are some pics:
Colleen and Ryan had a fun flight, reading...

Watching some "Frozen"...

Then they crashed on the way to Kerry and Patrick's...

They lounged on their giant sofa!

Then they monkey'd around at the Denver zoo...

Beary fun!

We got to go on a train ride (our exuberant conductor peeking his head in the photo)... 

We had an awesome breakfast one morning and the kids got to play while we waited...

We went to the botanic gardens...and Colleen found some wings to fly...

They had a cool running stream that kids loved!

It was hot and everyone was jumping in...


But then time to go back home...Ryan got some Pirate's Booty on the way to the airport and was super happy

Then they even got a little frozen yogurt...

We had two very happy campers...

Who waved to a lot of the coming and going planes and baggage handlers
