Another trip to Ohio!

John and I took another trip back to Ohio, but this time, it was for the purpose of gathering with my college buddies as we do every year. John stayed with my parents while I traveled with friends to meet up with the group in the mountains of North Carolina. We had an amazing time, as we always do - refreshed & encouraged from a weekend of laughter, catching up with one another & true friendship at it's best. Unfortunatly, Ben had to stay back in CO to work as he didn't have enough vacation time. So, here is a little glimpse of our weekend.

A view into my world

Lollipops, Puddles & Hiking

Our Past Week...

The Midwest Tour

John and I just returned from a trip to Ohio, Indiana & Michigan to see friends and family. I tried to capture an overview of things we did and people we saw on this slideshow. Enjoy!

Swimming with friends!

We have spent some time this summer at our friend's pools. Here is John and the ladies - Caroline & Mercy. We also spent an afternoon with friends at the Boulder Resevoir, which was great fun and we so enjoyed being at a lake since they are few and far between here in Colorado. Lakes are definitely something I miss from living in Michigan!!
Friends, from L-R: Mercy, Betsy, Lauren, John, Me, Natalie, Julie & Isaiah.

John had so much fun digging in the sand. In the 2 pictures below, he is with Mercy (Mimi, as he calls her) and Isaiah (Iya, as John says) as they all discovered the thrill of sandy beaches!

Hiking & Splashing

Our friends from Michigan, Dan & Krysta, were in town this week. We went on a couple of hikes and then John had a chance to play and cool off in the Boulder Creek. He had a blast!
