Since Emma broke my little Coolpix camera in Colorado, I’ve been taking a few pictures from my phone. It’s a little cumbersome to get them on the computer, but I took the opportunity to procrastinate on some laundry and did it yesterday. We start back in Colorado.
This 1st one is actually one of the last taken with the Coolpix, posted mainly to show the little cabin in the background. We spent the afternoon in Frisco after attempting a hike near town and having to turn around because of thunder. It cleared up again as soon as we got back into town. Frisco is a really cool town – it’s the biggest town in the middle of all the Summit/Eagle county ski resorts, right of I-70. They have restored some old original buildings in the town square with a little museum housed in an old schoolhouse. There are all kinds of interesting artifacts (like old school desks/chalk boards) and a model of the old town in the museum. The 2nd picture is upstairs in an old home that had a trunk full of old hats. Emma was scared to go up the old creaky stairs, but Anna had fun with it. There was also an old jail, a store, and several other homes, all surrounding a beautiful little town square. We were happy to have the hike shortened to discover this little gem!
These mountainy pictures are from going up the gondola to the Breckenridge ski area. There were a couple of little glaciers to play on. Lot’s of people have done this, so the snow isn’t pretty but it was fun.
Trying to take selfies in the swinging gondola…
Cuteness on a trail and at a little store with lots of carved critters.
On the way back through Denver, we got to meet up with Jaci and Andrew and Elizabeth. This is the only picture I got, but it was SO GREAT to see them!!!
Back at home, I let Junior out one morning, and when I let him back in, he was hopping on 3 legs. One day in Colorado he bounded down some big boulders after a squirrel, and I cringed. He limped a little that day but seemed fine the next. My guess is that he did some major damage and finished off his ACL in the backyard. So we went back to Dr. Payne who fixed it. His office is very close to old town spring, so we visited the Little Dutch Girl the day we went in for the consultation. They have yummy traditional dutch goodies like syrup waffles and chocolate!! Luckily we went just as everything was opening so they didn’t mind having a lame dog tied up out front. Even at 10am it was way too hot to leave a dog in a car.
We got the crate out to contain him after surgery. It is a very fun place to play!!
We also went skating a couple of times this summer. My old phone doesn’t take great pictures inside dark places, but I managed to get this one.
This is the scene when Emma gets out of kindergarten most days. Junior was well enough to make the trip with me about 6 weeks after surgery, which was about a month ago.
