Father's Day Weekend in Vail (again)

Yes, Jeff is a lucky man-he got to spend Father's Day weekend in Vail for the second year.  Actually, we are lucky that Jeff got us such a good deal through work again and were able to stay in a condo at the Ritz with the Berg's for the weekend!  The pictures are pretty self explanatory-lots of fun was had by all.  Hiking, swimming, gondola rides, playing at the park and visiting with friends.

Always chewing on his hands

Love it!

Nora's first pony ride!

Ellis' first hike!

Nora stayed so clean on the hike...

 Besides roughing it in Vail, we've just been enjoying the summer weather at home.

 Sorry again for the wrong orientation on these pictures.

Shaved ice is so yummy!

Ellis is so close to rolling over!

Ellis and Nora both visit the doctor tomorrow. I'll post the 'stats' soon but it may be a while before the next proper blog post.  Next week I am leaving on my first work trip since late October!  Jeff is going to hold down the fort for three whole days alone with both kids...and pack the family for a long weekend in Utah.  I'll be home for about 8 hours (during which I plan to sleep), then we're driving to Utah to visit Jeff's parents for a long weekend.  I hope we don't regret that decision-the driving part I mean.  We'll only be home for four days before my parents come for a week long visit, the summer madness has officially begun!
