Our Summer Vacation

This summer we vacationed in Colorado and I am just now getting around to the pictures.

I'm about to post a jillion pictures. Continue on at your own risk only if you want to see Roskowske children overload! And Poor Mark. It looks like he didn't even vacation with us. I don't think he made it into one picture the whole time.

We spent a few days in Estes Park and got to see Gammy and Gampy for lunch one day.

We spent a few days in Denver. We went to the Denver Children's Museum, the aquarium, played putt-putt, stayed in a nice hotel, went out for ice cream... it was a lot of fun.

We went to Idaho Springs, Colorado and drove up Mount Evans. So scary! It's the highest paved road in North America. Described as "not for the faint of heart" and a "white knuckle drive" (no guard rails, crazy switchbacks). It's 14,240 feet to the top, and you pass through 3 life zones. We saw lots of mountain goats up towards the top.

See that car?? Yeah, that's the road. No guard rail. Skinny lanes. Enough to give me a heart attack.

We had a wonderful time! Next summer, we are planning a beach vacation. It's been two years since Kate has been to the beach and Jack Man has never been. EEK! Can you imagine that?? My crazy Jack at the beach????
