Well you know from yesterday what went into getting away from the weekend, but I shared nothing about the weekend itself. It was fabulous to say the least.
My mom’s brother and his family recently built a new vacation home in the mountains about 1.5-2 hours away from Denver. They had all of us (my parents, sister, grandma, Matt and the kids and myself) up to see it and enjoy a great weekend away. The house is beautiful and the company could not have been better.
Tabby and Ben both had a wonderful time. Tabby’s favorite thing was riding in the Rhino ATV my uncle has up there. The both loved the boat, but Ben in particular had a great time DRIVING the boat. In general, they both loved being outside and taking in nature. We saw a fox from the house, a bald eagle while we were on the boat, and as we came back through Rocky Mountain National Park, a moose and her calf, a bunch of deer and lots of elk. Matt and I enjoyed the leisurely pace of the mountains and also all the extra adult hands around, eager to snuggle our kids.
We’re very lucky to have such a nice extended family nearby.
I love the mountains. So nice to get away from the hustle and bustle. Glad you all had a great time.
