This was my (Kelly) first trip to the family cabin in Colorado and all I can say is gorgeous!!  It was so great to spend some time with the Tesar/Ellingson clan…our time together is far too few and far between since they all live in Florida.  Wish the trip could have lasted a bit longer…we’re already missing everyone!  We had the chance to experience fall and winter while we were there…which was a bit of a change of pace from the lingering summer that we’ve been having.  The fall colors on the aspens were just gorgeous and one morning we woke up to about 6 inches of snow…so we had some fun doing some snow photos, as well.  Yes, we’re dorky enough to set up the tri-pod to take some snow photos of ourselves!  We couldn’t lure the Floridians too far from the warm fire in the cabin.  Haha.  Our niece Brooke had some fun with her first snow experience, though!  We took advantage of the beautiful scenery (and the fact that we were all in the same place at the same time) and got some great family photos, but those are for another day.  For now, here are a few of the other photos that we got over the weekend.

The aspens were golden!  Gorgeous!

Brookie with Uncle Stehvn!  At the rate she’s going she may someday match him in height!

Coming down the hill from the cabin…this is the town of Ouray nestled among the mountains.  Love it!

Isn’t the reflection in the glassy lake just gorgeous?!

More fun with the reflection!

Stehvn was jealous of how great Danielle‘s glitter photo turned out…so he wanted one of his own!
