Snow Mountain Ranch 4th of July

-

We had SO MUCH FUN at Snow Mountain Ranch for the 4th of July. We dropped Davis off at the bus for Camp Chief Ouray on Sunday afternoon. Michael and Sam and I stopped on the way home in Morrison for lunch and a little Wizard's Unite (a harry potter game). Then Michael flew out of town for work and Sam and I spent Monday together shopping at the mall and going to Snobahn.
Tuesday morning Cheris and Graham arrived (Violet was at camp with Davis). We shopped and ran errands and got ready for family camp at Snow Mountain Ranch. That evening both Michael and Rob flew in and by Wednesday, we were ready to go!
Wednesday morning we drove up to Snow Mountain Ranch, stopping for lunch in Winter Park. Our cabin was ready and moved in! We had so much fun at family camp and so much fun being together!
We played lawn games, built forts, painted ceramics, hiked the Waterfall hike, did two ziplines, (the valley zipline was epic), tubed the summer hill, practiced archery, played Catan, rode bikes, watched two world cup games including watching US Women win!, made glass fusion art, went to Winter Park for fourth of July concert and fireworks, enjoyed the YMCA 4th of July carnival, flew kites, played Anomia, played cards, played more lawn games, played human hungry hippos, enjoyed fabulous weather every day and had the BEST time!

We picked up Davis and Violet from camp on Saturday so they got an extra day to be with us at family camp. It was so awesome that Violet went with Davis so that I could actually hear all the details and stories. She would tell the story and he would chime in and it gave me such a good clear picture of it all. Davis really enjoyed the camp and maybe I can convince his brother to go with him next year!
It was a wonderful place for all of us to spend the holiday and it was so fun to be with Cheris and Rob and Violet and Graham as well.

New Roof

We have a new roof. Our tile roof was supposed to last a lifetime, but it was put on incorrectly and so we've been fighting leaks ever since we moved in. We had some bids offered on both a new tile roof or on several different types of metal. We chose a metal roof because I grew up with a metal roof and loved it and because it was less expensive than the tile. It took the crew seven working days to take off the tile and put up the new roof. They did a great job and we really love it. We were worried at first that it wouldn't be as beautiful, but we really do like it. Now I want to repaint the front door though.

New Directions/New Blog

The times, they are a'changing. I think it might be time to start something new. I have the idea that I want to start a new travel website/blog. I want it to be fancy and pretty. It will be a place to focus all my travel obsession/passion. I will blog our trips there and talk about travel with children. I will post when I find places that I want to travel to and I will post when I find great travel deals. I will talk about the points game too. I want to talk about Generational Travel. I want to talk about traveling with small children, but I also want to talk about how it is to travel with my dad and my grandparents. I haven't been able to find any websites out there that talk about travel with alzheimers and I think it would be helpful to some people. Katie already told me she'd help with my social media. (sure, with all her spare time. ;)) This blog has been my journal for seven years. I have loved keeping a record of my family here. Each year, when I rec...

Love for My Boys

First, Sam. Sam is in such a sweet stage right now. Gentle, giving, fun, sweet, easy. He loves to cuddle and share. He's talking a ton now and growing so fast. He's learning to ride a bike and yesterday and twice today, he pooped in the potty! He's only 21 months!!! He's working on his two year old molars and has been carrying around an old metal rattle to chew on. This morning he accidentally whacked Davis on the head with it. Davis cried and I pulled him in my lap. Sam ran over and crawled up next to us on the couch. "What happened?", he asked, deeply concerned. I explained that he had hurt his brother. Sammy said, "So Sorry, Dadis. Hug.", and gave him a big hug. Then he said to Davis, "I loves you.". I've never heard him say he loved anything or anyone and I was so touched to hear him say it to his brother. He would follow Davis anywhere and does. He leaps from the couch after Davis and tromps through the grass. He ex...
