You say its your Birthday.... Or at least it was...

I've finally gotten around to posting some great pictures from our Memorial day visit from Ted, Beth & Annie. We had a great time trekking around Denver (of course the obligatory visit to REI). Everyone arrived on Thursday evening and we spent a quiet evening at home resting up for the big weekend ahead.

Here is a link to the full album on our Picasa site...

Friday started out with some shopping (Sorry Ted!!). We dropped Annie off at "The Yarn Store" and she had a blast shopping (of course, I had to buy a couple items for scrapbooking also). Ted, Beth and I headed off to Wal-Mart and Payless for some shopping before we picked Annie back up to head downtown. After a great lunch at Protos pizza (complete with Anchoivies for Annie & Beth), we headed over to REI for a marathon shopping spree (sorry Matt). Everyone was quite tired so we headed home for a bit of rest before going to a great dinner at The Fort in Morrison to celebrate Ted's birthday.

This picture is with his "buffalo" hat!!














On Saturday morning, we climbed in the car and headed South to Canon City for a ride on the Royal Gorge Train. We were treated to beautiful sunny weather as we watched the breathtaking scenery go past.

Here, Ted & Beth relax and enjoy the views....












Annie enjoying the peaceful views...












We drove back to Colorado Springs on and stayed near the Garden of the Gods. We woke on Sunday morning to catch the 8am Pikes Peak train to the summit of Pikes Peak.
