flashback friday // colorado, last year.

one thing i missed a ton during my blogging hiatus was posting family trip photos.  actually, i didn't really get to pay much attention to them myself because our vacay was during the photog busy season & these bad boys got pushed to the back burner... aka: i just edited all of these yesterday.  so maybe you could say i missed having a life during the busy season?  ohhhh, the life of a wedding photographer.

anywho, i finally got around to going through some photos i shot while we were visiting the denver area last june.  we had gone down for a little reunion with my whole side of the family & then extended our stay a few days to check out the city.  colorado is such a cool state!  so much to do if you're into the outdoors, which we are.  and they have like 300 days of sun or something?  that's insane.  this seattle-ite would possibly shrivel up & die if i was exposed to that much light.  just kidding, but seriously.  i wouldn't know what to do with myself (probably have a life outside my house???)

and i didn't really include any pics of my extended family because that would have extended this post by about three-fold.  so many fun ones of my sisters, mom & dad, uncle & aunt (the ones that are shown below doing the team roping), grandma, nieces & nephews & brothers in law (or is it brother in laws?)  maybe i'll do a separate post... maybe not.  haha.

looking through these photos makes me excited for our next family travels.  we're headed to austin & san antonio next month!  i've never been to texas & i'm pretty dang excited to see if everything really is bigger there.  i wanna eat me a big ol' steak & see some cowboys.  it just feels like what should be done.
