Rocky Mountain Retreat (with the Peterson fam)

We had a great little stay in CO with the Peterson family a couple of weeks ago. We visited the Garden of the Gods Park in Colorado Springs and enjoyed Trav & Amy's hospitality before heading to Indian Hills, where we rented this house for a couple more days.

The house was perfect! It was plenty big, had lots of bedrooms, bathrooms, and gathering areas with seating for everyone. It was on 40 acres up in the hills, and it really felt secluded. It had a fun little sport court where we enjoyed a little tennis, basketball, and a double-elimination shuffleboard tournament. It also had an indoor pool and hot (or medium warm) tub.

One of the house's best features was the deck. It was so nice to sit there and enjoy the cool evening temperatures.

We were excited to finally meet our newest nephew, Kale. He's about 8 months old now.

Jackie and Mariah. A year from now, Mariah will be playing softball for the USU Aggies. We're excited to have her closer!

Garrick and Logan. Unfortunately, Logan had a fever and just wasn't himself for most of this vacation.

Butch, Kade, and Kambree checking out the brackets for the shuffleboard tourney. Sadly, they had to leave a day early, and we never finished the tournament.

We loved our little Colorado vacation. We went tubing in Golden, had a massive water balloon fight, drove on the highest road (14,000 ft elevation) in North America, and spent lots of time hanging out with some great family!
