Wonderful family visit from Charleston and Seattle

 



I know I recently did a post (on the wildfire) but I'm back with another post about our fabulous family visit with Tiffany, Chris, and the girls, and my sister Anne in from Seattle. We all had a great time in spite of the wildfire nearby.






Patio for s'more's of course. And the added fun of the bug zappers. Jules had a mission to get those bugs.





A trek into Crested Butte with  a trip over Ohio Pass yielded a bear sighting. Jules was the one who spotted it - her first bear. Breakfast at Paradise Cafe and the super fun CB farmer's market rounded out the morning.




A little jeeping up red mt road. We dead ended into our new neighbors gate - the Carmelite Monks. A monastery will be built up here in the next couple years. 





We went for a sketching and painting outing near Gothic. Lots of fun until Jules had enough of the bugs and itchy plants on her legs. I don't think camping is in the Walker family future for awhile.









We made it up Silver Queen chairlift this year. Lots of fun and what spectacular scenery. It's high up there:11,875ft. We were riding both up and down. Lots of people hike down or take their mountain bikes up and have a screaming ride down. We were a more sedate bunch.






Patio/s'mores night number two. Chillier, as you can see, and Anne had made it in to join the party.


So great to have Anne here. She was solo this year (missed you Jean!) and we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly, especially the multi trips to CB. Lunch at Soupcon (new offering this summer) and a stupendous dinner at Elk Prime.
