Snowy Morning

I was peacefully asleep at 2 a.m. only to be awaken by Steve declaring that Cynthia and I should get up and look at the snow. In my experience, snow that is on the ground at 2 a.m. will still be there at 8 a.m. When I did finally get my bones out of bed, this is what I saw. Beautiful!

Our little cabin tucked away in the mountains

When we arrived in Colorado, this sweet little cabin was there to greet us. I slept on the bottom bunk and Steve took the loft because he tends to snore too much.

Kneaders... the greatest name ever.

Crescent & I met at Kneaders (delicious!) wearing pretty much the same outfit or at least the concept was the same which is ironic, seeing as how we are polar opposites on most things.

Conversation with a 5 year old

"I like your boots."
"You do??"
"Yeah. Are they new?"
"They are, in fact, quite new."
"Well, I like em."

Deanna, Jeanette, Lucy, Moses and someone...

The girl on the left latched onto what she thought was a rock. It was a cactus instead. Bad news for the hand.

This was my second hike with Moses and his students. Next time I am bringing my own car and something to eat.

I am still trying to wrap my mind around the fact that it took us 4 1/2 hours to complete this hike. HUSTLE PEOPLE! HUSTLE!

Chocolate... pure bliss

Grandma Claudia is a Selfish Sinful Sydney Sundae eater.

After a lovely evening of the classics played by a true pianist, we found ourselves hovering over the infamous Sinful Sydney Sundae. Being the sanitary conscious one of the bunch, grandma slid her fair share (and some more) over to her side of the plate. I love her guiltless indulgences and the way a blissful smile creeps across her face at the sight of a piece of chocolate. Without a doubt, we share the same blood.
