Colorado Trip

We just got back from a vacation to Silverthorne, Colorado. One my good friend's aunt and uncle have an amazing house there, and they graciously offered for us to come for a few days. We enjoyed the beautiful mountains and views, hikes, walks, gonodola rides, yummy dinners and desserts, smores, fly fishing (Brett), and even a snow day (in June- can you believe it?)

The mountains, lakes, and streams in Colorado just take your breathe away! I could not stop taking pictures. The boys tried to fly fish a few days, but they had so much snow this year, the rivers were really high and fast. They did manage to catch a few fish! The girls spent a day shopping in Breckenridge, and enjoyed the adorable boutiques.

Our favorite was riding the gondola up to the top of the mountain in Keystone. Crew loved the ride, he just kept staring out the window. Once we got to the top, he would not stop running and jumping in the snow (yes, there is still a ton of snow at the top). The view of the mountains and beautiful Lake Dillon is just breathtaking!
Now back to reality in good old 105 degree weather- hello Texas!!!

Deck with heaters and a gas firepit for smores, yummy!=)




Shae's last drink in her 20's- just a few minutes before midnight and the big 30!




Happy Father's day dada!


We love you so much and couldn't ask for a better father and husband.
You are such a blessing from God and we are lucky to have you!
