Weekend with Friends

This weekend was full of fun with some old friends.  The Gustafson's came into town from Kansas and we visited the zoo, the park, the fountains, and topped off the weekend with an overnight camping trip in Woodland Park.  The camping trip rpoved to be an adventure when Aliza woke up with a fever that morning.  She slept most of the day on my chest and then was up most of the night crying :)  But, our first Colorado camping trip was a success overall!  The weather was gorgeous and the night was not too cold at all.  A much different experience from camping in the humidity in TN...and I only saw ONE mosquito all night :)  Thank you guys for being such wonderful friends!  Here is the weekend in photos...
