Visit from the Colorado Cousins

June 19-22, 2016:  We always love to see our Colorado cousins but it's always too short!  This summer, Nathan & Cori & kids traveled back to celebrate Chuck & Janet's 50th wedding anniversary.  They requested for us not to have a party, but instead just wanted everyone together.  We got to Burlington late Saturday night (after a crazy day of baseball and cookie making!) and started the fun on Sunday...

Sunday:  We went to church and then took Chuck and Janet to Big Muddy's for lunch to celebrate their anniversary (and father's day!)  They had a super yummy buffet and we also enjoyed the river views.  After lunch we headed back to Chuck & Janet's to celebrate Carver's 3rd birthday.  He had a "Jake & the Neverland Pirates" themed party with a bounce house, treasure hunt, and cupcakes.

Monday:  We spent the day at Fun City Waterpark... we enjoyed the sun and water all. day. long.  We had so much fun, I didn't get any pictures!  We enjoyed Janet's homemade pizza for dinner and made a trip to the Sassy Strawberry for some fro-yo!
Tuesday:  Chuck & Janet treated us all to a movie.  We had fun seeing "Finding Dory".  Marc, Nathan, and Jaren opted to skip the movie to play golf.  The rest of us had a great morning.  After lunch we enjoyed a lazy afternoon of playing in the yard and sitting on the porch.  We had a family photo shoot with a friend (another request of Janet's!) and then had dinner.  After dinner we headed over to the ball field for a little Gorsch vs. Gorsch friendly game of baseball (well as friendly as possible with this uber-competitive family!)  We ended our last night together with sparklers.



Littlest baller!






Wednesday:  Saying Good-bye is never fun but until next time...
Emmy made tie-dye shirts for all the cousins!
When we left to head home, Macey & Kinnick got to stay for a few extra days.  They enjoyed lots of fun including a Burlington Bees game!
