Witte Family Fun - Day 2

The kids are natural campers. They live to be outdoors. If they could, they would sleep outside every single night.  Juliet and Mason went to bed inside with me, but only because it was in the 35-40 degree range last night! As soon as Juliet woke up she ran right to the door and was saying "go, go to da-dee!"

I took her out and she climbed right in his bag ready to be in the tent with him.

 It was glorious being outside in the chipper mountain air. It made me long for fall. I absolutely love fall.

Colorado has the best fall. We waited for everyone to wake up and all cuddled in the blankets.

It was sooooo early. Like 5:45 and we were up and watching Phineas and Ferb. We love that show, but yikes! we look rough!

Mason slept great, the first night.

This was only 1/2 of the cups! They looked so funny on the counter lined up.

Everyone got dressed and started to play together.

Lucas is teaching Noah how to play Cut the Rope, it is one of his favorite games right now.

Grandma and Grandpa made sausage and french toast for breakfast.

It went fast:

After breakfast, we split up. I wanted to go into the village to show the kids where we spent our honeymoon.

I was determined to take a special picture.

We went into the village and the kids played a few games of GIANT connect four:

 Then we let the kids explore the Zephyr.

All around the hotel, they have these musical instruments. Several different versions, this one makes the coolest sound because it is in this pocket in the courtyard so you can hear it echo!

 It looks TOTALLY different without the snow! Hahaha.

Then we met up with everyone else and the kids found a climbing wall, so we grabbed their picture together!

Sydney, Juliet, and Mason are missing.

 

 They had a snowboard simulation thing.

 Bridget and Lucas had no fear, of course.

 It was July 4th so they had over decorated everything, even the city Moose.

Here is what I really wanted to recreate.

I know I have posted before that I really wanted to do a snowy in the cabin type vacation, for our honeymoon. Nathan asked me to make a list of things I hadn't done before and we crossed them off the list for our honeymoon.

Here we are in 2005, 3 days after we were married.

Here we are 7 years and 5 kids later:

It was so neat to be here again, but this time with our babies.

We are going to come back in 7 years and try it again, marking my calendar for 2019.

Lucas will be 13 by then! Nathan will be 100! Haha Just kidding. :)
