Welcome July

7/1/18 Mt. Evans

Sam's friend Maggie, also a senior illustration major at Ringling, has been staying with us this past week, and this was my one day free (yesterday was end-of-month) to go with them and do something fun, and since she's from Florida and had never seen snow, and it was beautiful, we decided to drive up to the very top of Mt. Evans, a trip we'd only made once, the first weekend we lived in Colorado some 11 years ago.

I was reading the above when I heard Sam come around the corner and say, "UMMMM?!?" and I turned around to see this guy standing behind me.

but he srcambled back out onto the rocks pretty quickly with his crew.

The Rest of the (HOT) Week

Amber and family had graciously pup-sat Aidan and Jake while we were away, and when we returned we took Zoe with us, since they were heading out the following day to Prague to visit Jan's family.

So we now have Aidan, Jake, Zoe, and Charlie together!

And the week was a hot one.

So all our walks (minus Charlie who has zero interest) were in what little cool morning air we could find ahead of the sunrise.
