Pushing Cars

We got home last Wednesday morning. Unpacked the car and the house, went grocery shopping, then crashed! Thursday we had lunch with Sarah and Rowan, then went to play with Dillon and Connor and Kathy and Sean (our neighbors).

Thursday night was the first of many activities last weekend. Our good friends Mark and Amy got married. Thursday night was the rehearsal dinner. At first Casey was extremely shy. She didn't want me to put her down, and when I finally did, she hid between my legs. A good hour later, our friend Kate found a glow stick and Casey's personality finally came out for everyone to see. The rest of the night she was glow stick sword fighting with Mark's nephew's who were age 4 and 8. She's a fiesty one. She also enjoyed sitting on the bottom step of the staircase and telling everyone to sit down next to her by patting the seat next to her and looking at that person.

Friday, everyone came into town. We had a full house! Aunt Kel came up to babysit, not only Casey, but 3 other kids (Kailen,age 2.5, Isaac, 16 mo and Graham, 8 mo). Luckily she had the help of our friend Stacia's girls (14 and 12). The wedding was Friday night in Breckenridge. The reception was western style. Though it was outside and it was below 40 degrees, everyone had a great time. A tent was set up and there was a heater inside. Good times!!

Saturday we headed over to the house where the bride and groom and their families were staying in Breckenridge. It is used for executive retreats. It sleeps 50, has a basketball/raquetball court, pool room, enclosed patio and a climbing wall built on the back of the house...using actual stones used for homes. The rope harness was built into the roof. Very cool. I made it to the top and rang the bell, even though I was shaking like crazy from my fear of heights.
Sunday we had dinner with our neighbors Kathy and Sean and their kids Dillon and Connor.

It's been snowing off and on since we returned. Nothing has stuck, still too warm during the day, but the mountains should be getting a good base. Loveland Ski Resort opened today and Abasin opens Friday. Hoping to hit the slopes on Sunday!!
