Field Trip!

We took a field trip to Cross Orchard Historic Farm in Grand Junction yesterday with about 7 other home schooling families. We witnessed apple cider being made on a press from 1897! Soooooo goooood!!! The farm was purchased in 1914 as a "showcase" farm by a wealthy family from New England. The kids enjoyed the tour. Our second stop was the History Museum of the west. Super fun with cowboys and Indians, old school houses and saloons, fire trucks and hot air balloons!
Apple box labels stuck on the kitchen ceiling to prevent the dust from falling into their food.
Enjoying fresh cider (cider is sweet and sour apples mixed, apple juice is just sweet, if you were wondering).

Just a bunch of punkins!

Happy Birthday Super J!

We had a fantastic trip to Pagosa Springs celebrating Julia's birthday and reuniting with the Long's, Cosby's and Gray's. We rested, ate, took a few walks, and tubed the San Juan. Jim was able to get in two mountain bike rides and a few naps. It was so great to see everyone! And yes, what a treat to see Patrick and Dawn...with a new baby on the way!!!










This is what tubing the San Juan can do to a 6 year old. Its tough to have so much fun!







J's Slumber Party

Slip-n-Slide, pool, warm sunshine, princess cake, games, movie and nighty night! We all had a great time. Thank you friends and family!

Every Friday at the Park Hyatt in Beaver Creek throughout the summer is a great "kid zone." They give out free everything!! Horseback rides, fly fishing lessons, fire truck tours, gondola rides, pop corn, snow cones, and SMORES!!! Hot off the Fire! And yes, we conquer it all!
