Glad to have a little time with my brother in Denver before he heads back to WI. Hoping easier times come your way soon Casey! 

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving! Went to Mom & Dad's yesterday for lunch. Weather was great so we sat outside most of the afternoon.

Beautiful Telluride

 

Yesterday we took a trip up to Telluride, CO. It is located right next to their ski area and even has ski lifts including a gondola that start in town. The colors were beautiful even though it was a little past peak. It has an elevation of 8,750, and has to be my new favorite town in Colorado.

 

 

Telluride has a free gondola from the downtown area up to Mountain Village. It is the only public transportation system of its kind in the US. Below is a picture of the downtown station where you board to go to Mountain Village.

 

 

Mountain Village was pretty awesome, with lots of shops, hotels, restaurants, and outdoor plazas. We sat at a café and had some drinks before we got back on the gondola and headed back downtown.

 

Search for the Salamander..

Papa found a salamander in the pond earlier in the day. Clayton was very excited about finding it again & again. He had Grant in the pond searching. He was a little timid when it actually came to touching the thing.

Clayton's 5!

Finally getting around to posting pictures of Clay's 5th Birthday. We had a get together at Mom & Dad's for him. He had a party with some of his friends at his house too. He got a tablet that I'm sure he will be obsessed with for days to come and a new backpack for school. He starts Kindergarten this Tuesday.

Cheesy Pizza!

Went to Durango last Monday with Mom, Dad, & Clay for Dad's eye checkup appt. Ate on main at Chimayo where Clay learned some fork spinning techniques for his pizza. He was quite entertaining.

Dad's B-day!

 

Dad had his 60th Birthday last month. We all got together and went to dinner. Clayton had fun afterwards throwing pennies into the hot spring "wishing well."

Father's Day

 

 

 

 

 Spent the afternoon yesterday at Mom & Dads for Father's Day. Grant made us a few pizzas that were great, then we spent some time on the patio. Steve and Kathleen stopped in for a bit too.

WI Trip

Playdate

Picked Clay up last week after work to hangout with my co-workers daughter. While I was with Clay I asked if he thought I should ever have kids. He said, "Yeah, but if we ever get to many you can have one of ours." Always fun hearing the wisdom of a child.
