Labor Day in the Rockies

It's where we called home for a week

And we were welcomed with an amazing view from our window

Ava was a very busy girl on this trip. At 6 months-she was given her first bowl of rice cereal. She also discovered her toes - as you can see she was curious how they tasted.

Roger's buddy David and his family (who now live in Denver) spent the first 2 nights with us. What a great way to start the week! His beautiful wife Jennifer, the twins William and Jack (8), and the adorable Julia (4)


We went hiking on Swan Mountain with Fred and Dorothy (who joined us on the last leg of the trip). Don't let the black hats fool you. They're the good guys.


...and more hiking in Breckenridge

The sun was so bright - she had to wear shades

Little girls are way too much fun. And pink is too cool

It wasn't all work. Eventually, she stopped to smell the flowers

That's a cue someone is pretty worn out

After celebrating Oktoberfest in Vail, we stopped by the church where we were married - only a mere 4 years ago. Ava actually did not accompany us on this trip. She decided to stay at the condo with her grandparents and catch up on her beauty sleep.

And the fun continues...next, we decided to drive to The Savory Inn, where we had our reception, and see if it was still there. Even though we didn't go in, it still brought back a lot of fun memories. Good Times.

This photo will have monumental meaning after you scroll down and see the photo with Ava's Grandparents - who were in the very same spot in 1964.
