Memorial Day 2017

It STILL seems weird that we don't camp anymore on holiday weekends since we're retired and can go during the week!!  But we were excited that the Keppys were coming down on Friday!!!  I didn't envy them hitting all that holiday traffic coming to the mountains from Denver but it didn't take them too much longer than usual to get here late Friday afternoon!!

We had an enjoyable weekend and although the guys went rock hounding one day, Jessi and I never left the premises!!  We were content to just hang out with the kids and read !!!

Gwyn was her usual talkative cute self - she sure loves coming here and she loved being outside!!

 The girls had so much fun on the play set - and Gwyn loved the sandbox although somehow I didn't get a picture of her in it!!  She had no fear climbing up to the top and coming down the slide!

 We read lots of books - Kenzie took over for me in this picture!

 Pancakes are always a hit at our house - Papa makes the kids whatever shape they want!

 Swinging away !

 Jessi got a lot of reading done - to the tune of 2 books over the weekend!!  Yes they were easy reads but still!!!

Papa had decided to build a swing for the kids - he found the perfect place where they could take off from a large rock and swing down - Gary helped him get the rope up in the tree and the kids absolutely loved it!!

 The kids even did the hot tub and Gwyn went in too - she had to sit on someones lap of course but she enjoyed it!!  My pictures turned out pretty bad so I didn't post them!

And our weather - typical Colorado weather - pretty nice in the mornings but by noon cloudy and some rain - one day we even had hail!  But no complaints - we need all the moisture we can get!

They Keppys decided to stay Sunday night too so headed out mid-morning on Monday - what a fantastic weekend!

Sounds like so much fun! I actually got to spend some time this past weekend with Emily up at Baldwin. She loved it up there. Hope we can get her and Jeremy up there more!
