Before everyone left Colorado, Heather had a great idea to take sister pictures. Becky didn't come, but everyone else was there. Here are some of my favorites.
This series cracked us all up. I tried to get a picture of Jolie, James and their kids together, but Bradley wasn't having it. The first picture was pretty good, but then he head butted Jolie, HARD. And somehow I got the picture right after it happened. We all laughed about it afterward, but he hits hard, poor Jolie. Then the picture afterward, you can see James' hand tucked between them to make sure it doesn't happen again.
Richard flew in for 24 hours, and the kids were stoked to get to see Pops, even just for a little bit. We played lots of games together, including a hilarious video of Richard playing Say What, which he made me promise to never post.
We brought him back to the airport shuttle pickup area and said our goodbyes.
Then we headed up towards Horsetooth for a day on the river. The launch spot we were going to go to was closed for tubers, so we headed back to a better area and played there. The river water was high and really fast, so we stayed close to the edge most of the time.
Cris, Matt, Hunter and Skyler took Matix and Russell up a little ways to tube down that smaller section. Matt and Russell were able to get out, but it got a little wild when the other 4 (including Matix) couldn't get out of the river where they were meant to, but some bystanders helped them out. Hunter and Skyler, who were part of the BIG cousin group, were demoted back to the little kids group after that. Cris and Matix were fine.
We headed further up the canyon to get some food and Matix was thrilled to see that there was a piano at the bar. He played for everyone while we waited for food and they were all impressed.
Back at Jolie's house and lots of people took a nap in the front room. I was so impressed, since lots of people were still walking in and out.
Alexandra showed us her hidden room that she and Jolie made! It's so cool!
One of the days we had a sister meeting and Robin told us all that she found dad's old car, and bought it! It was awesome, and such a happy thing to do.
Jill bought the kids a slip-and-slide and little pool to play in because it was so hot! They loved it! Sage and Colton, Grayson's kids, came over too and it was a party.
I sat with the adults and the dogs in the shade and Izzy made us fancy drinks again. We all love it when she makes these!
At some point Sammy thought he should sit on my lap. He only weighs 170 pounds!
Plus, we got some of the Colorado people to play Matix's silly slo mo game. Enjoy!
