Although Ken and Dad weren’t able to come with us due to work obligations, Mum and I took the children to Keystone, CO for a few days. We all enjoyed the cool mountain air, beautiful scenery and hikes. Next summer we’re thinking of spending a whole month there! We did the Lily Pad Lake hike as well as walking into River Run twice and attempting to feed the chipmunks at Sapphire Point. Paddle boats are a must, as is shopping at the Silverthorne Outlet Shops. Wesley turned 7 while we were there so we celebrated his birthday by going to see the new Transformers movie, eating out at Ruby Tuesday’s then having cake from City Market. We’re trying to go again in winter for some skiing if our schedules work! Here are a few pics of our trip.

On the hike to Lily pad we pass what we call “Boulder Lake”. The wildflowers were beautiful!
