Family reunion in Golden

Several sets of Beards converged on Golden, CO last week - John's parents flew in, his brother's family drove up, and his sister's family is living here for the summer. Oh, plus we came to Denver for a couple weeks to see people and restock supplies before heading back into the mountains in August. What a wonderful surprise to see so many relatives in the same place at the same time!

A fun tour of the Coors plant - with free beer too:

A dramatic double rainbow over Golden:


We're not always coordinated when taking family photos:


Much better!

Loren took us on a bike ride up Mount Evans from Echo Lake: 14 miles mostly uphill to the top of a 14er - we made it!


Thanks for a fun ride, Loren!


Most of the family has departed, sadly. But the Lykins clan is still in Golden, and we're looking forward to a rafting trip/birthday party this Friday :)
