Since we were in Durango for a month, Jud worked a lot while we were there and then flew back home to work for almost a week. From there he went to Keystone for a guys trip with his college frat brothers. They went river rafting, hiked up 14,000 feet and had a great time just hanging out and being dudes. Jud is so blessed to have these amazing guys in his life.
While Jud was gone we had lots of fun. We took the boys on several small hikes right by the house. This is a cool tee-pee made out of trees just across the street at the park.
Miller even went to Camp Glacier several days. Camp Glacier is a day camp for kids where they do all sorts of fun things (hike, crafts, games, swim, etc.). He also went to hit golf balls with JoJo. Here he is with his new set of clubs he got as an early birthday present. He gave his old ones to Miles.
The boys enjoying the weather at the park across the street. Miles loves to wear a hat, but likes to wear it with it pulled down almost over his eyes.
Once Jud got back from his "vacation from vacation", we had almost a week to do some more fun things. We went down to the Animas River one day and Jud practiced (that means he didn't catch anything) his fly fishing while the boys and I played at the really fun park right on the river.
Watching daddy fish.
Playing the "music pipes" at the park.
Checking out the train engine they have on display.
We all went out and watched JoJo and Jud play golf one morning. The boys love to ride in the cart and get out when we get to the green and hit a few.
Poser.
We went down to the base of the mountain one more day and the boys did all sorts of fun stuff. Miller climbed the rock wall. It was his first time to rock climb and he loved it. I'm guessing we are going to have to make some time to climb at Lifetime in the future.
We had been trying to talk Miller into doing the bungee trampoline for about a year. He just didn't want to do it until Miles said he wanted to do it (the only requirement is that you are 30 pounds). Miller then decided he wanted to do it and go first. He got so high and loved every minute.
Here's our adventurous child that had just turned two getting ready to "bounce".
He kept saying, "Bounce. Higher, higher."
Then we did a few more runs on the Alpine Slide. Miller and Jud were riding down together and I riding with Miles when all of a sudden we were no longer racing. Miller and Jud had fallen off their sled and Miller hit the track hard with his head and elbow. He had a goose egg the size of a golf ball on his forehead. We had the immediate care take a look at him and he seemed fine. He was so brave, but wouldn't let us take a picture of the bump because he didn't want to see it. It did take over two weeks for it to go completely down.
He rallied when we went "mining" for rocks and gems after lunch.
Here are all the rocks/gems we got.
We are so blessed that we were able to spend such a long time in beautiful Colorado. Hopefully it will be an every summer thing. It's going to be such a fun place for the boys to spend time. We head back after Christmas for 10 days and we can't wait to see Miller ski again!
