5th Annual 4th of July in Crested Butte

I haven't been as great about getting these updates on the blog in a timely fashion this summer, so in the hopes of posting this bad boy before I go back to school, I'm going to keep my commentary to a minimum and let these pictures from our trip to Crested Butte speak for themselves.

We had a great time, despite some rain and carsickness (yes, I still get carsick on long rides). Crested Butte might be one of my favorite places of all time.

Our old neighbors Caleb and Charlotte camped a couple nights and then bunked with us the last night.

The rain ruined our plans to do smores at their campsite, but luckily we had a fireplace.

God Bless America!

This is the "bag drop" and I didn't get a chance to do it last year before they closed it down because of wind, so I was first in line this year. It was awesome. And we were all so proud of Maida..she was the youngest kid to jump by a few years, and she just walked out and did it. Multiple people commented to Mom about how Maida has no fear (this actually happens on at least a weekly basis that someone comments about Maida like that...others include "speed demon" when she's on her bike, "fearless," "spitfire," "determined"...you get the idea).
