A few weeks ago, I traveled to Denver for a work meeting. The town was amazing! The weather was perfect.

It was such a fun place to pull out my camera in downtown.

I have so many great memories of our family summer vacations to Colorado. We always went to Winter Park, Colorado around July. We drove the entire way – stopping at every battlefield and state park – hiked, panned for gold, rode alpine slides, laughed, fished, played Frisbee, ate sm-ores, listened to oldies, took pictures…

I’m sure there was some other stuff – but that’s what I remember.

I had one of those moments – where I stopped in my tracks – remembering that I run from activity to activity – but am I building memories for the kids? Really building memories? I am so lucky – I had a sweet, funny childhood. I pray that I am passing that blessing on to my kiddos…
