A family hike at Rocky Mtn National Park...it's only 35 miles from our house but it was our first time back since moving back to Boulder. What a treat to hike in the mountains, remember the good old days and share the experience with our kids. They loved it and most of all the ride in the shuttle bus to the trailhead. Go figure! Loving Colorado, The Zylstras.

Destination: Loch Lake

Lunch, climbing on rocks and lots of photos

4th of July

And for those of you that don't think

So much fun!

Happy 3rd Birthday, Kaatje!

Balloons, cake and lots of presents.

She was lucky to celebrate a few times this year...

with grandparents, friends and cousins!

Father's Day...or more like Grandpa's day!
