breck with lil’s family (and pics of her nephew graeme) • 07.14.11
we shot out to breckenridge for a quick weekend trip with lil’s family. 2.5 days was kind of short, but we got to do lots of fun stuff, and Lil finally got to see the little nephew (Graeme) who she had been dying to see (and Facebook stalking) for 6 months.
Jonathon had been a rafting guide with Noah’s Ark out there, and took us out on his river. It was a blast, although the water was freezing. I learned that lesson pretty well about 2 seconds after this picture. : )
lots of pretty flowers outside our house. the house was just above the topmost lodge on the mountain there. there were beautiful views all around. bright sun, lots of flowers, but snowcapped mountains standing behind. just gorgeous.
here is lil with graeme (in his chariot) and nola. we were out for a morning walk
one of the aforementioned gorgeous views.
and another. this is the house that was next door to us (at sunset)
graeme and i are both very handsome, we both have awesome shades, and both of our favorite parts about biking Vail Pass was that we started at the top and so i think i pedalled about 12 times during the 13 mile bike ride.
here are lil and i right before we set out
and here’s the whole group a few miles in.
this is kind of what Lil looks like all the time anyway : )
ok, some pictures of the subject of lil’s adoration.
this was his first time having solid foods. he did not find it to be a pleasant experience
luckily, with nola’s help, they found an easy method of cleaning him : )
here are lil and her dad
and here are my two girls after a short hike to a waterfall
this is lil’s whole family just before we pulled out of breck
and one of me and the princess.
having only been to breck in the winter before, i was very impressed with summer there. just gorgeous, and the town is really neat and has so much going on. it wouldn’t be a bad place to spend a month : ) there’s a bunch more pics here if you care. thanks!
