New Belgium Brewery and Elephant Back

Had a wonderful time visiting with our friends AnneMarie and Jim and family in Loveland, CO.  Saturday the adults went to check out the New Belgium Brewery in Fort Collins.  We had a great time as the free tour we took there included several 3oz tastings of their beers.  The history of the brewery and the fact that it is 100 percent employee owned was pretty interesting as well.

Then on Sunday, we took their oldest child with us, Julian, to Horsetooth Mountain Park for a nice leisurely  hike.
