Summer Visitors: The Bill Nye Family

At the beginning of August, Mr X's sister and her family came through town for a brief visit. They were en route to a family reunion on the Nye side but we were lucky enough that the occasion afforded them to swing by our place for a couple of days. I haven't see the Nye family for about four years! Crazy. I met the youngest one, Sam, for the first time. (He's not pictured below as he's only 18 months old and that's not a particularly suitable age for standing on a rock bridge above a waterfall.)

While I worked Mr X took the Nye family up to Mount Evans, then fishing, then to Idaho Springs. The next day we all headed up to Winter Park for some family fun riding the longest alpine slide in Colorado and exploring the mountain town. While at home the kids made forts in our back yard and the adults practiced their aim with a pellet gun.
