Steamboat

We spent a week over the 4th of July in Steamboat with the Will Family.
We had an awesome vacation home just out of town with a beautiful view.
Some highlights:



  • 4th of July Parade


  • Fireworks!


  • Fun with cousin Gavin


  • only 3 hour drive from here


  • horse back riding


  • watching the coal train from the deck


  • wonderfully warm weather


  • Fish Creek Falls


  • Date Night with Nate and Amy


  • watching the crazy fast/high/white water rapid river


  • shopping


  • mini golf


  • fishing


  • human maze


  • flying kites


  • Farkle


  • playing outside games


  • swimming in WARM swimming pools


  • celebrating birthday


  • Time with family


  • The Botanic Gardens



Grandma and Grandpa gave each of the kids their own fishing pole.






Ashlee fell asleep on the hour long ride. Chris worked hard to hold her dead weight on the horse with 1 hand.

Thanks to Trish and Doug for a great trip!

I grew up in Craig and spent the 4th there. We went up to Steamboat a couple of times. Its one of my favorite places.

I can't believe Melinda doesn't know Farkle! The girls I bet are in heaven from this summer. I'm so tired I just beg the kids to go jump on the tramp all day so I can unpack...nope...not happening :) So worth it though!
