The Colorado Cousins
FYI: Golden was once the capitol of Colorado.

2 of Jim's brothers, his mom, and 3 out of the 4 sons of Justin.
Today was a fun filled family day. We met up with 3 of Jim's brothers and their families. We headed up to Buffalo Bill's gravesite and to the cute town of Golden..this town was once the capitol, but is probably more famous for being home to the Coors brewing company. We bought some sandwiches and headed up to Golden Gate park for a picnic. The boys had a great time exploring and hiking..but the picnic was short lived as it began to rain. We headed back into Golden and my boys spotted this river and people tubing down it. They immediately wanted to do it. The other cousins are not strong swimmers, so we kept my nephew Austin and the rest went home. I ran into the hardware store, bought some tube and the boys headed down the river. If I didn't have to hold the towels and clothes and camera, I would have been in there too! They had a blast. They tubed for a little over an hour and then the thunder started and you could see a huge storm was near. The river cleared out quickly, so I grabbed the boys. They didn't want to leave, but I didn't want them getting struck by lightening! We got caught in a downpour running back to the car. Fortunately, we were already wet.
