Vacation

It's been nearly a month since we broke free

from the grips of the daily grind

and headed to Colorado for a little getaway.

Huh?

Can you believe it's taken me that long to sift through pictures and get them posted?

Me neither.

Our first adventure was a gondola ride to the top of a mountain.

Because every brook and stream was raging from a significant amount of melting snow,

we were pleasantly surprised with an open snow activity at the summit, and we gladly hopped on board.

Nope, it wasn't skiing despite the nearly covered slopes at the top.

Well, not all of us were able to ride.

The too-short one of the group entertained herself quite nicely by throwing snowballs.

The rest of had a blast speeding down the mountainside.

J told me he felt like a rabbit cooking in a pot.

This tubing thing just wasn't fun and games though.  The high altitude trip back to the conveyor built was quite a workout.

We didn't want sweet E to feel slighted, so we headed to the bounce house for more fun. 

 

Unfortunately, her fun was cut short by a really minor injury and a trip to the first aid tent to get fixed up.

That didn't keep her from smiling though.

We ended our day with a steep drive to get an even better view of God's beautiful work.

And He does do beautiful work.
