To further explain my recently-posted picture, I have to give you a bit of background. Our oldest daughter got a job in Colorado for the summer. It's the first time she's ever been away from home for an extended period of time since she lives at home and goes to the local university in our hometown. She and Grace, five years her junior, are extremely close so this has been hard on her. (Pictured here from left to right are: Emily, Scott, and Grace.)
We left last Monday on our voyage to Colorado. Horribly hot weather here in Edwardsville; delightful weather awaiting us in Colorado! Emily had so much she wanted to share with us, and we had such a short time to visit. We drove up from Estes Park to Loveland on Wednesday evening, through these beautiful canyons on Highway 34. We arrived at a lake that Emily had discovered with her friends -- just in time for the sunset.
We regret that our son, who's currently stationed in Virginia with the US Navy, couldn't be there to join us, but he was there in our hearts. What a great backdrop to feature my favorite people in the world, sans one.
