WALL FAMILY

Kirk's Mom and Richard came to visit us for a few days.  We havent seen them for almost a year so it was nice to have them come visit.                            While they were here we took a day to walk around Steamboat Springs for some shopping, lunch and a good walk.

The rest of pictures are from other people that submitted to ou...
