We're Baaack!!










This is our whole group from our trip to Avon/Beaver Creek. We had 22 people at one time!




This was our Hummer tour outside of Avon. Beautiful scenery. Sadly, one of the 3 Hummers broke down and we had to cram all those people in the other truck. We still had a blast though.





We spent the days swimming, eating, playing Guitar Hero, Wii, eating, shopping, eating, making crafts, eating, sleeping, eating, watching soccer, eating, paddle boats, eating, riding the ski lift, eating, rodeo, and horse back riding. Did I mention eating?!? Holy cow. Literally.





I never grow tired of the beauty of the mountains. We are so blessed to live in this state!





The whole reason for this trip? Dante's parents own a time share in Avon. We go every year. This year, Dante's younger brother had some of his friends come too. Lots of teens! We were also lucky enough to have his grandparents and uncle all the way from Maine! I love them! Unfortunately, Dante's grandma cut her leg on the free bus and had to have 13 stitches!! She'll be fine- she's very tough!





The highlight of the trip for me was watching Maggie on our trail ride. She is a horse freak. Loves them. She had done lessons but hasn't been able to ride since. She had her own horse- Jasmine, who she was in complete control of.












That's Maggie on the white horse!


I love going on this trip and look forward to many more. It is good to be home though!
