Not going to happen; we will take what we can get....They are all CUTE!I love my family!

Vail Colorado/Bachelor's Gulch

I had the opportunity to go to Denver and then travel by bus to Vail and up the canyon to Bachelor's Gulch. The area was just beautiful and as you can see, I stayed at the Ritz Carlton there. It was a great experience. Our activity was horseback riding up the mountain, and it turned into a sudden lightening storm. That was kind of different. I loved the ride, and my horse "Copper". He was terrific. The storm not so great, but it was actually fun. Got a bit wet, but it was worth it. I had to show the bathroom where I stayed because it was beautiful and the tub was divine!(so great to soak after a 2 hour horseback ride). Nice.

Sweet Swing!

Carter is just hangin' around -- not by himself of course!

Then the front garden. Love it! I have missed my swing to sit in while I read or look at the garden.... Mark has worked very hard to get it back to brand new. New boards, new stain, new paint! It is back. I love it! Thank you Mark for fixing the swing. SWEET!
