Vacation!

We spent a few days at a family friends' cabin in Pitkin, Colorado.  When it was 107 in Kansas, we arrived at the Lucky Dog Lodge to highs of 78.  Andy was in heaven.  In fact, he's ready to start looking for jobs in Colorado Springs ;)

The girls had their first experience on four-wheelers, and I have to admit - those things were fun.  Four-wheeling up to the Alpine Tunnel and to Cumberland Pass  were great adventures.

 The view from the deck at the Lucky Dog Lodge.  (Seriously, this cabin is nicer than our house. It's nice to have family friends like this!)
Ready to go! She would ride behind Andy on this big one, strapped in with a bungee cord.  And she fell asleep on each trip back down the mountain.  Incredible...she won't sleep through the flipping night, but she can sleep through a washed-out & rocky road, loud and bumpy four-wheeler ride.

Taylor rode with my Dad on the other big 4-wheeler.  They were good partners.  He said she would talk most of the trip.


Yep, we were up that high. The air is cold that high!

Ready to go on our longest day trip to Pitkin.
