A month.

With my sisters departure today, a month of family visits has come and gone. I had a great time with all of you!! Some of my favorite things were seeing Mt. Evans with mom and dad, Estes Park with Mary and Dean, and adventures in RMNP with Jane and also Vanessa.
I like when family comes to visit because I get to do some of the touristy things that I might not normally do.
Anyway, I think all of our visitors had a good time, with Mary telling Katie that it was the best vacation she ever took, and Jane calling it a life changing experience. It was also changing for me as I think it has solidified some thoughts kicking around in my mind and I also discovered that I really enjoy hiking, an activity I thought was pointless before.
In fact I have planned a hike this week to go to Bluebird lake, which is another mile and a half beyond the lake that Jane and I hiked to. I am going to buy a water filter so I can refill up there from a stream and it should be alot of fun!
