Vail Colorado

Me and Mikayla flew out to Colorado for a nice "family reunion" at a resort in Vail. My sister Jamie just recently had a baby and so we all met there together for some good times. The resort was very nice and it was a great change of pace---having no real responsibilities for 5 days and getting to do whatever I wanted.
We played a lot of racketball

Mikayla loved running around the court listening to her voice echo around the room

We enjoyed the heated indoor/outdoor pool
(and the hot tub!!!)

We played a lot of games
(Speed Scramble!!! I'm hooked!!!)

The boys played video games

We did some crafts

And enjoyed meeting Rachel---the newest member of the family

Ahh---I love newborn babies!!

And of course we did some R&R
(rest and relaxation)

The master bedroom had a walk-in closet big enough for a pack-n-play. It worked great for napping and bedtime!!

There was some counsin bonding time

And some sister bonding time

Gotta have a silly picture too

The little kids enjoyed playing at the parks


And the big kids did too!!

We took a nice walk around downtown Vail, Colorado


Isn't the architecture just beautiful!!!


We walked into a store that I knew would be a pricy one just to see how expensive things were.




Want a fur coat anyone?

















Oh my, does anybody else find that ridiculous??

Overall it was a great trip with lots of quality family time

(which of course had to end with tearful goodbyes)

Thanks baby Rachel for giving us a reason to all get together!!!

Until next time!!!!

(I'm thinking Hawaii)
