2013 Family Vacation in Colorado
Our family never had the opportunity to vacation together until this wonderful get-together in July-August 2013 which included nearly every member of my immediate family (excepting my father, my brother's four children, and my aunt & uncle). It was hard to choose from the 2,296 photos we collectively took, but here are a few of my favorites:
