Summer Fun

I'm writing this post from beautiful Breckenridge, CO. We got here late last week and have been relaxing, enjoying the break from the awful Texas heat, and enjoying some quality family time. We took an amazing hike through McCullogh Gulch yesterday. We hiked up to a glacial lake between Mt. Quandary and Pacific Peak. Even Oliver joined us for the trek - he was amazing!! This morning I sent my man off fly fishing, which is a passion for him he doesn't get to pursue in Texas. It is a rare treat for him, and it makes me so happy that he can take some time to do it here. And, he looks so cute in his fly fishing outfit!!! We are getting ready to leave tomorrow for a few days of camping in Rocky Mountain National Park. The kids are so excited. Tent camping is not something we can do in Texas, so it will be a great experience for everyone. I'm truly excited about visiting the park - it is one stop in Colorado we haven't made yet. I can't wait to see the elk, moose, bighorn sheep, and whatever else we might see. We plan to do some fishing, hiking, and relaxing. I am so grateful for this time we have together, away from everything else. I will post pictures when I can.

World Series





The whole family had a blast at the boys' World Series in Sulphur, LA. The Warriors fell short at the end, but Nicholas and Dylan played some amazing baseball. It is amazing what they can do at 9 years old. The love they have for the game is something special. They had so much fun hanging out with their friends for the week at the hotel and the fields. Emma had fun with her friends too. I think she had one of the little girls on her lap for the entire time!! I'm almost sad that baseball is over for about 6 weeks, but we all need a break.
