End of February Fun

Timothy loves to eat and play in the flour whenever we are in the kitchen. 

Who knew flour tasted so good all by itself??

A little love for Altai.

Finger painting fun

Very serious Daddy making dinner.

That's better!

Daddy and the kids getting down for a Barbie Dance Party

Yeah, Aunt Kim is here for a visit!

Aunt Kim had a work conference in Denver so we were so excited to get to see her for a quick visit! 

Marin lounging on a rock at the beginning of our hike. She was a happy girl to skip out on an afternoon of school to be with Aunt Kim.

Our happy crew, ready for a hike!

Marin and Charlotte have a hard time not climbing on every big rock they see.

Our turnaround point just short of Mallory Cave.

The kids were excited to show Aunt Kimmy things on the ipad while I made breakfast.

Looking for goldbug in Cars and Trucks and Things that Go.

Aunt Kim we love you so much and can't wait for you to visit again soon!

Lake City Weekend 2016

The kids had a long weekend in mid-February so we headed to Lake City, CO and had a wonderful weekend away! The first day we hit the slopes at the Lake City Ski Hill, which is an apropos name for this great little spot. The following day after our friends the Gribbles arrived we had a great morning of ice climbing. We fit in plenty of time in the snow and had a fun balance of relaxation and outdoor activities.

Enjoying a little morning cable at the cabin we rented.

Everyone went to the ski hill, even Altai!

Daddy and the girls

Enjoying the sun and the beautiful day.

Here they come again.

Daddy and Charlotte

Marin ready for another run.

I'm just going to relax in Mom's sunglasses.

Marin's first time on a tow lift with only a little disk instead of a regular seat.

Mommy's turn to take Charlotte up the lift.

Totally worth the $15 lift ticket!!

The ice was really nice although a bit wet due to warm weather.

Dave giving another great belay.

Dave's turn to head up the ice.

Is she suppose to be climbing that ice like that?

A great climb, thanks for the belay Jess!

Kelli's turn to belay with a little "help" from Altai.

What a great day to be in Colorado!
