Ashlyn and I went to visit my parents last weekend. My aunt, uncle, cousins, and grandma were in town so we went up to the mountains to see everyone.

Ashlyn was in a hugging mood so she gave everyone hugs before she went to bed.

Since August is peach season we decided to take a day trip to Palisade where they are famous in Colorado for their peaches.

View of Palisade from the Mesa.  It has been really hazy here from all the fires in the west.

My dad took us to this peach farm where they let you pick your own peaches. We had so much fun.  Definitely is going to have to be a tradition from now on. Well worth the drive.

Ashlyn ate peaches the entire time. Her first bite I gave her she said "yum" and then ate two more peaches. She was a sticky mess afterward.

In total we picked 41 lbs. of peaches.  I brought a box home today and Mike was very happy about it. It will be a sad day when they are gone.

Ashlyn loved playing around in my parents' backyard.  While she played I messed around with my camera and took some pictures of the flowers and a huge spider.

Breckenridge, CO



Every year Mike's parents get the whole family together, along with the Carney family, for a long weekend in Breckenridge. This is my fourth time and Ashlyn's first. We always have so much fun together and eat WAY too much delicious food. Here are some pictures of our trip...

Austin scared the daylights out of the girls when he put this bear rug on.  It was hilarious!

The only ones that were able to ride down the Alpine Slide. The rest of us had to get our tickets refunded due to rain. Booooooo!

The only picture we took of the bike ride.  These two slept the entire ride down Vail Pass.  It was too cute.  I think by the end of the trip we all felt like Ashlyn. 

Other events not pictured: our daily hikes, Breckenridge Village, Vail Pass bike ride, and all the fun we had in between! I am kicking myself for missing the photo opps.

The trip we all look forward to all summer comes and goes too fast!
