More photos coming...

Hi all, you might be wondering why it has been a few days since I last posted any photos. I am currently visiting my parents, and the internet connection here is a little too slow for uploading pictures in a timely manner. Once I am back at my Colorado residence, I will resume posting pictures to the blog. You can expect more photos around August 2nd or 3rd.
