One Kid and Counting...: UNCLE NATE AND AUNT TRISHA VISIT!

I'm a little late at posting this. It's been a couple weeks, but Nate and Trisha came to visit and even though it was a short visit, I wanted to share some photos. On Friday (July 15), Travis picked them up from the airport and we stayed in and grilled out. They were excited to meet Rome for the first time, AND they were excited to be without their own kids for once. Having twin boys and another boy 16 months apart is not an easy task! They needed a vacation, for sure.

On Saturday, Nate and Trisha wanted to go up to Rocky Mountain National Park (it's where they got engaged). Nate worked at the YMCA of the Rockies a few years ago and had a friend still there that he wanted to visit. We had lunch at the YMCA and met with Nate and Trisha's friend for a while. Then we headed up Trail Ridge Road to get the good views. The weather turned kind of nasty for a bit, but we were able to squeeze in a hike after the weather passed at Bear Lake. We had dinner at Poppy's Pizza, one of their favorites.

On Sunday, we were planning on going down to Pueblo to camp and go boating, but it was going to be 100 degrees with little to no shade, so we decided to stick around Denver and then go to Pueblo on Monday. We went to the Farmer's Market for lunch and then grilled out at City Park Jazz for dinner. It was a beautiful (but hot) day!

Monday, we all loaded up and headed south with the new boat to try out Lake Pueblo. Minus a few unplanned encounters (which I won't mention), the day went great! We hung out in a cove and swam for a while and had lunch. We got Rome in the lake for the 1st time with his vintage infant life jacket. He seemed to like it. Unfortunately, we don't have pictures, but we took some video. Travis and I took turns wakeboarding and surfing the rest of the day. We are loving the new boat!!! Just wish we had a longer season in Colorado. We'll have to break out the wet suits before too long.

It was great to have Nate and Trisha out. We love having visitors! Now, we can't wait for Rome to meet his 5 cousins (on Travis' side) in Illinois this coming weekend.
