July 2023

We spent a lot of time at the cabin this summer working on redoing the main floor interior (I'll post pics in a separate post), but we enjoyed our time up there as well. It's a beautiful place.

Full moon setting

S'mores time

Morels!!

Mom & Calf Moose!

My fav - Indian Paintbrush

Jacob found a 4-leaf clover!

We celebrated Joe's birthday at the cabin as well!

Foam party at the library with friends!

Day on the lake with friends

Watching these 3 take a selfie was pretty cute

Maya learned how to use a long arm quilting machine! Pretty cool!

Gabi attended the World Record track camp with the world recordholder for long jump - Mike Powell!

Another trip to the lake to do some paddleboarding

When we returned from Hawaii, Gabi continued home to attend a basketball camp. The rest of us stayed in Denver to attend Joe's company party, visit some old Golden friends, go to a Rockies game, and spend some time with my mom & dad.

"Face painting" at the company picnic - dolphins were on his mind from Hawaii - he is convinced he was a dolphin in a previous life :)

Visiting Angie on our way to the Rockies game

Go Rockies!

We were gone for about 2 weeks at the beginning of June and it rained in Buffalo most of the time we were gone, That made for some amazing wildflowers!

Newest Lego creation!

Jacob, Maya, & I headed to Northwest Montana for Maya to attend a running camp and to visit some friends. Here is Maya running with our friend Jason and his daughters, Quinn & Morgan.

Before we dropped Maya & Morgan off at camp, we trekked into Canada just for kicks. It was beautiful and a fun experience!

Saying goodbye to the girls as we dropped them off

Their camp was right on the lake, so Jacob & Briggs had fun playing while we got them settled.

While Maya was at camp, Jacob & I spent some time in Glacier National Park. We had a great time kayaking & hiking (and eating lots of ice cream!) I wish I had taken pictures of the two cabins we stayed in in the park - so quaint & peaceful!

Kayaking on Lake McDonald

He was enamored with these rocks that change colors when they're wet.

On our hike up to Avalanche Lake

We made it! 7 miles round trip

Avalanche Lake had 5 waterfalls flowing into it

The next day, we decided to hike the Highline Trail to see if we could find some Mountain goats. My phone totally died, so we took these pictures with Jacob's Kindle.

After hiking the Highline Trail for 5 miles, we didn't see any goats, so I convinced Jacob to go another 3 after someone clued us in to where the were. This is a mom and a baby! There were lots of them.
