The big four

Hard to believe that it has been 4 years since Ms. Olive came into this world. I often think about how I was stung by a manta ray when Olive was in my tummy and that she was born during a crazy electrical storm as possibly defining Olive's personality. We feel blessed to have such a determined, energetic, social, quirky, silly kid.

Happy 4th Birthday!

 

Steamboat Springs Cabin

Great weekend at Columbine Cabins outside Steamboat Springs. We stayed in the Bear cabin, which was about as rustic as we like it these days. Olive turned four and we had a small party with the Shippits  family followed by a campfire with toasted marsh mellows. Kate hiked to the Hahns Peak and kayaked with Olive at Steamboat Lake. Bob had a beach day with Olive and got some fishing in. LOVE SUMMER.

Gran's 70th at Snow Mountain Ranch

We all packed into to a "cabin" at snow mountain ranch for Gran's 70th birthday! It was fabulous! Pa fell in love with roller skating, we went horseback riding, and fishing. Good times. I am blessed to have such a great family.

Visit with the Randalls

We spent a few wonderful days in Grand Lake with the Randall Clan. Everyone gathered to scatter the ashes of Grandpa Joe. Tim and Marilou hosted everyone, and I mean everyone. We had a few bonfires, live music, and lots of good times.  It was great to see everyone!
