Fall Breckenridge Trip

Abby is leaving this week for Hawaii, so she wanted to get a good dose of fall in before she left. So, we took our fall excursion to Breckenridge in September instead of October. It looks like, barring any snowstorms this coming week, that the peak color will be next weekend.  We still saw a lot of gold, although the trees actually had a lot of orange and some red this year, which we have never seen before in the Aspens. I thought only Birch did that. 

The second photo is one Brian took with the tripod, using it like a selfie stick (idea provided by Jacob). We were laughing in the photo because a group of young adults were walking by and commenting on our set up - "That's one hard core selfie stick!"

Abby's Birthday and Garden of the Gods

• We all went down to Hannah's place in the Springs for Abby's birthday. While we were there, we took some photos at Garden of the Gods. We are hoping at least one of the photos will turn out for our Christmas picture, since Abby will be leaving in two weeks and won't be home until February. 

I'm not a big fan of the whole posing thing where people are all over the place like in the second photo, but my photographer children think it is great, so there it is. I'd rather us all sit or stand together, so old fashioned!

Afterwards, Abby chose to get burgers for her birthday dinner. She had opened her gifts at Hannah's place earlier and since Abby has been sick for the past week (on the mend now), she chose not to have a cake or dessert due to the sugar. So, Jacob got a strawberry milkshake and shared that with the non-ill members of the group!

A Few of Hannah's Breckenridge Pictures

Some of Hannah's Pictures from Doug and Shanan's Wedding

Just Catching Up

Well,  the latest pictures are having trouble leaving Hannah's camera, so I thought I'd upload a few older ones for now.  The photo above is of a birthday cake made by Abby.  We are getting mighty fancy around here!

As the final (we hope) snow melted, we had our creek back, complete with ducks and frogs!

When I saw this picture, I knew that Hannah and Andrew were destined to get married. Can you see that look on her face?  I've never seen that before...

Visiting Hannah and Andrew in Manitou, shortly before the internship ended. Hope always complains that Manitou "smells weird" - there are a lot of marajuana smokers down there (ahem) and it smells a lot like that...

Pictures from Hannah and Andrew's internship graduation ceremony. It was held in the Summit Ministries building., where they spent a lot of time this past year.

Abby, the budding photographer.

The happy couple.

The happy group.

Happy Hope and Sapphire.
