Our true reason for picking 8/8/08 for travel was the Joel and Amanda TenBrink wedding!

It was a lot of fun! Good times! We didn't get a lot of photos because our whole family was in the wedding...but enjoy these..some funny ones and a glimpse of the big event.

Lake Michigan...we can never get enough of the beach!

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
