Moooore Colorado Pictures

Here's a few pretty pictures from Colorado:

We stayed with Drew's Uncle Joe, Aunt Robbin, and cousin Ashleigh.  They have a beautiful home in Colorado Springs and own a little French Restaurant called La Baguette:

And a beautiful garden:

 

 I think you get the point.  It is beautiful.  And as if their backyard garden wasn't enough....

This is the Frodge's view from their front yard:  Pike's Peak & Garden of the Gods!  Absolutely stunning!

We also saw multiple deer in the neighbors' backyards

 Oh what's that?  You want to see pictures of La Baguette too?  Fine:  Welcome to La Baguette!

I know you are wondering what we ordered, and because I'm putting off doing homework I'll comply.  Drew and I shared some cheese fondue and a roast beef sandwich with french onion soup du jour?  (Did I say that right?  I don't cook fancy things and I don't speak French, someone help me out!) 

 This is Gwen and Robin with their dad (Drew's grandpa) after our wonderful lunch.  This was the first time I met him and I'm glad I was able to.  I love this picture!

Aaaaand here's some pictures from our hike up The Manitou Incline.

From the TOP!  What a workout!!

But we were so happy to be able to say we did it!!  Thanks for taking us Ash (she's a pro)!

So, I know some of you are wondering... how are the Frodge's related to the Bensons?  Well, take a little gander at these next few pictures.  This is Drew's mom and her sister Robin!  Just try and tell me they don't look like sisters.  They are almost exactly 1 year apart!

It was fun to watch them.  They are alike in many ways and have so much fun together!  I hope this is how my sister and I will be in a couple years down the road!  (My sis and I are 20 months apart.)

Now that this post is extremely long and the list of pictures I have not included is so much longer... I'm going to say farewell, until next time.  

(I may or may not include more pictures.  But for those of you that MUST see the rest of them.  Just go HERE already.)
