Gary & Carol Visit!

June has already been busy around the Jones house! Greg's mom & dad came out to visit the first week of June and we had tons of fun.

Dinner at our favorite steakhouse in Parker

Unfortunately, Greg & I had to work during the week so we didn't have time to go Rocky Mountain National Park or any of the other fun places around here. Thanks to Gary & Carol for being so easy going and working around our schedules. They even planted some new lilac bushes in the yard (can't wait to see the beautiful purple blooms next spring!) and cooked us dinner a couple of nights! But we did manage to get away early a couple of days and have plenty of fun on the weekend.

Saturday, Greg had to work during the day so Gary, Carol & I met up with my mom for lunch. Then Gary went home to watch golf and the girls went shopping and to see Sex and the City 2. So much fun!

Sunday we went down to Colorado Springs to see the sights. We started at the always impressive Broadmoor Hotel. What an amazing place! (And the only warm & dry day all week!)

Maybe next time boys!

Then, after walking around the Broadmoor and a trip through the pro shop (who says men don't like to shop?) we drove through Manitou Springs and made it over to the Garden of the Gods. I've actually been to the Garden of the Gods several times, but it is just as amazing every time! 

It was a very warm and busy Sunday afternoon at Garden of the Gods, but we had a great time walking around. This is an absolute "must do" for anyone visiting Colorado! And surprisingly enough, it is completely free. Bonus. 

Finally, before Gary & Carol had to head back to the west coast we all headed to Coors Field for a Rockies game. It started out very hot, then looked like we were for sure going to have rain, but luckily we didn't get a drop! (June around here is about as volatile as it gets...warm, cold, hail, rain, tornadoes, anything is possible...and all in the same day!)

No rain, the Rockies won, and we all had a great time! Thanks so much to Gary & Carol for making the trip out to see us. We won't be making it up to Oregon this summer, so we are so glad they made it out to visit us!
