My life has been fairly interesting and busy lately. Two weeks ago I went to Grand Lake on a family vacation. I loved getting to spend time with my family - two of my cousins even came. I went hiking and kayaking, played games and watched movies, and ate lots of food. I even made…
Summer
Colorado Springs, Pokemon, and Pueblo
