So Happy Together

Colorado with my family was so, so fun. I wish summer vacas would never end.

We all met up in Denver Wednesday night.

I flew in from Chicago.

Angela, Mike and Steele drove in from Utah.

My parents drove in from Kansas.

Alex, Bryan and Lincoln were all awaiting our arrival!

We spent Thursday hanging out in Denver.

We toured the Denver Broncos Stadium.

(We LOVE the Broncos. Always have. Always will.)

We even went to the Kids Zone to take this pic. :)

We met up with Bryan for lunch and then were able to see where he works.

The afternoon ended with ice cream at Little Man Ice Cream, the cutest vintage looking ice cream place around.

Oh, whenever the Pavlovskys are all together, we always enjoy ice cream and dance parties. It's a given. Thursday evening we headed for Manassa to meet up with our extended family.

Friday was the Thomas Family Reunion. My mom is one of 10 children. Here's proof.

Yep, we had a dance party after lunch! And a cotton candy machine maker. My cousins came from all across the US - California, Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, Kansas, Illinois, Texas, Virginia. We took a big group picture of the 170 of us that attended the luncheon. I'll post a pic when I get one.

I have twin cousins! Megan and Michelle are a year older than Angela and me. This is the famous twin pic we always take whenever we're together. Same pose. Same position. Every time.

Saturday we ran in a 5k and enjoyed the same parade that happened on Friday. Oh, Manassa celebrates Mormon Pioneer Days every July 24 with a parade, carnival, hamburger stand and fireworks. The best part? Getting together with family and friends. We were able to stay with my Grandma Pav so it was a lovely weekend with both sides of my family.

I cried when I left. I usually don't, but it's probably because Christmas seems like such a long time until we're ALL together again. I'll especially miss this little guy.
