Mountain Trip

In mid July we took a family trip to the mountains. We stayed in a log cabin near Crested Butte. Among many other activities, the kids learned to play checkers while at the cabin. We stopped at Blue Mesa Lake to play in the water and this crazy grass (we called it "tickle grass").

By the time we left, Reese was soaked from head to toe and had to sit in his car seat in only his underwear. He thought it was "cool."

Black canyon of the Gunnison.

Roasting marshmallows! Yum, yum.

My favorite part of the trip...we rented a pontoon boat at Taylor Reservoir.

The kids loved finding big rocks to throw into the river.

We made a quick stop at The Royal Gorge. Reese and Todd were terrified of the bridge and it was very hot. However, both kids loved the little train ride and the carousel...$90 well spent!!!

The outside...

Reese attempting the Bungee Trampoline jumping...he was terrified! Poor guy.

Luckily, Raly loved it!

It was a fun trip and great to get away from the construction.
