Family Pictures

 I'd been waiting for YEARS for this day - FAMILY PICTURES!!!  We hadn't taken them for 6 years and oh my gosh, all the grandkids had changed SO MUCH!

Comparing schedules for the summer was ridiculous with 4 families - and it FINALLY came down to 1 day that would work, as long as 3 kids could change their work schedule, which they did!

We met early on a Sunday morning up in Denver as Jessi has a photographer friend that she uses - that way kids could get to afternoon work if they needed to!  Choosing a place to take them wasn't too hard as a couple of the pretty parks are SO BUSY with people that it's just not possible and feasible to take pictures there so we ended up at 17 Mile Park - this place is an old homestead and has some cool buildings including a red barn and a windmill BUT the sun was out in full force that morning so we took to the trees and that was perfect!

Here are just a few of the dozens of pictures to choose from:

I have to admit that out of all the pictures, the one above is my absolute favorite!!  Daughters ARE SO VERY SPECIAL!!!!!

Everyone was starving afterwards so we divided into 2 different groups to stop and pick up fast food:  Slim Chickens and Chipolte!!  Then we all met back at Jessi's house to eat!  SO FUN!!

It was such a perfect day to all be together!  FAMILY IS EVERYTHING!
