Last weekend, Scott surprised us with a weekend getaway to Estes. It is probably one of our favorite places to go when we need a "get away"...that is close. :) Lately things at the office (new office) have been pretty hectic so we really needed a family getaway...plus, the boys and I leave today for 10 days to San Diego and we haven't seen Scott much. For some reason, the sound of the river flowing and the smell of fresh evergreens makes all the stress just melt away! I guess the boys have been sensing our tension too, because the first morning we woke up, Matthew stuck his nose out the back door of the cabin, inhaled extremely deeply, and says, " AAHH! The stuff is just melting away Mom!". I think he meant the "stress", but in his little eyes it must be "stuff"! Too cute!
We had a great day sat. just hanging out, playing by the river, diggin in the dirt, and having Matthew demo his cub scout skills by showing me how to make a pretend "fire" with twigs. Andrea our friend came up and we all went down the giants slide at Estes! (which is my favorite!)The boys also did the bungy tramp jump...looked way fun! We went for a long walk around 1/2 the lake and then came back to the cabin to meet our awesome friends, the Alexanders for dinner. They made the yummiest tin foil dinners..(on the gas grill, as there was no fire pit...sorry!B) and enjoyed each others company. The kids had a blast It was such a great night! Thanks Alexfam for coming up! Here are some of the pics we took from the day at the Slide....
