So prior to the trip to Utah and Idaho, we actually had a series of visitors come through, as well as celebrated the arrival of our other nephew Elias on May 3rd.
From May 5th-May 14th, Jennifer cruised into Colorado for a conference and to hang with us, which was such a blast! Here are a few photos from that trip!
Amy and I at the Kitchen Next Door
Sharing a beer- shocking considering I never see Jennifer drink beer, but she was in Boulder after all!
Me and the Gamble Girls!
Dropping Amy off to catch the SkyRide
Jennifer and I on a hike up Mt. Sanitas
And then it started snowing- get excited!
Very unexpected snow! :) Adam was worried we wouldn't make it back down!
Just so Jennifer could experience more snowy May weather, we headed up to Rocky Mountain National Park for some hiking, seeing animals, and picnicking!
Jennifer and I at Bear Lake in RMNP
Picnic time!
Lots of elk at RMNP
And lots of chipmunks!
One of the mornings, we made vegan crepes! Yuuuum!
Adam's parents also came into town from May 13th-17th, so for the days that overlapped with when Jennifer was in town, we headed to Celestial Seasonings for a tea tour, and strolled around Pearl St. (including a stop at the Boulder Bookstore). Amy, Kevin, and the girls came through as well for an overnighter on their trip to the east coast for a family reunion.
Tea time!
Hairnets!
Looking good, right?
Had to get a photo with the bear!
I agree!
=D Such fun magnets!
It was Mother's Day Weekend, so we also got to enjoy ice cream cake
Made breakfast for the girls- fruit salad and egg & sausage casserole. They slumber partied it up in the living room and we also played out at the playground for a bit.
Serenna making me "pizza and french fries"
I love how I couldn't get certain options because they weren't available =D
Can you tell that the sun is right in our eyes?
The whole family, plus Rosie
One of my friends told me about a cooking demo at the culinary school, so we checked it out
This is from the mirror above to cooking demo (pork sliders with slaw)

Super tasty dessert treats!
Cuba also came along the trip and she made Adam super happy- we had several days out at Chatauqua so she could run around and play fetch!
Margaret reassuring Cuba that even though she might restrict us from going to certain places, we love her anyway!
Hugs and cuddles!
On one of the days, Margaret and I picked up cupcakes at Tee & Cakes (probably after we checked out the kitchen and spice stores on Pearl St.)
After this set of visitors, we then went to Idaho (see the previous trip post) but after coming back from Idaho, we had more visitors! Sarah and Jeff were on their RV roadtrip and made a stop to see us! Super fun! I'll post those photos in the next posting!!
