Magnificance of summer

As usual, the fun and adventure continue on at warp speed. Lots of great food, jeeping, and - trying to bond with the cows. Hmmm...little success there so far. The kids tried (James, Katie, Krissy, & Anna) but all that happened there was a graceful leaping over the fence (Anna) and a prat fall over (Katie), and no, unfortunately I didn't get a picture - just lots of laughter. Next Chris stepped up to bat - that night I did get a picture - those cows think he's crazy...
We all went jeeping to Emerald Lake and over Schofield Pass. Absolutely gorgeous! Anne & Justine: no snow at all on the road! And the Rock (aka the jeep) marched over all obstacles with no trouble. Still snow on the peaks and lots of people enjoying the area along with us. Inflatable rafts on Emerald Lake?? Wildflowers were in massive quantity and a fox wandered by close by in the middle of the day, looking confused. Actually came a little close if you ask me. On the way, we accomplished a major goal: picking lupine seed pods to fling around our yard. Meant to do it around our area, but snooze you lose, they'd already exploded and blown all over. Gothic area blooms later, so success. We all grabbed some - look at the picture of Mark, look like beans to me.
Heather, Mark, & I ate at Sugah's in Gunnison - really good as usual, Chris & Tiffany ate at Mcgills in Crested Butte, also good, although Secret Stash was their goal - no pizza due to oven/ water issue that day. Weird... Ate at Le Bosquet last night - good food, kinda slow service (crowded in there) ending with chocolate fondue as Tiffany & Chris's dessert. Fondue is back if you didn't know - I remember it in the 70's...
