Image
We had a wonderful thanksgiving weekend! Here are a bunch of great pics from our family time!🦃 Turkey Trot 2021🦃 So nice to have my brother and his family join us this year! I think it’s a new tradition, super proud of the crew and my niece Kaylee for crushing 5miles on a cold and windy morning. 1st place female.🏃‍♀️ I’ve been working hard at some speed after my 100miler. Happy to see I haven’t lost all my speed, hopeful I can use this towards my half marathon Jan.16th 🔥 It was a chilly run so it was fun to warm up to Caribou post run. I love family time. ☕️  Caleb and Kaylee peeling potatoes 🥔  Racko time! My favorite game ❤️ Grandpa and Micah playing cribbage. Dishin Up! Aunt Kara looks little next to our big guys😁 Craft time. Family time. Tree day! 🌲  Love time with my parents.❤️ Christmas Season Begins 🎄❤️Jesus, you are the reason for the Season! Perfect craft this Thanksgiving and a wonderful weekend with family. Grateful.  Thanksgiving 2021🦃

Surprise Trip to Buena Vista, CO day4😀

  Day4 Manitou Incline! This was absolutely Epic. An incredible experience that we highly recommend doing!! The incline is challenging but totally doable! Total steps. Views from the top! Finishing the climb!! Complete. Took me 34:48 to reach the top✔️I hope to beat my time someday! ***Micah had a really bad cold and just felt too lousy to make the full climb and Jacob wanted to stay with his brother so he wasn’t alone. He was tired from the other hikes we had already done. They were the best cheerleaders and our full supporters.❤️ The weather was perfect! Total time 1:03= 4miles total.  Fall Family Getaway 2021❤️It was an Incredible Trip!

  day2 Our morning view. Nothing better! It was a bit windy today, but the sunshine was warm and it didn’t stop our fun! The guys went to check out the hot springs here in town while I went for a run. We met back up, had lunch and then went for a shorter hike. Midland hill trail- 4miles Everyone is still adjusting to the altitude but had great attitudes and we had a lot of great conversations on the trail this afternoon. We ate dinner back at our place and then the guys wanted to show me the hot springs, we all put our swim suits on and off we went! 💦 it was a blast and so cool to sit in the river where the water was HOT!! We had many more laughs together, these boys come up with some silly things to chat about! Awesome memories. **Snacks and a movie when we got back, and everyone crashed in bed. A full day in the sunshine, mountains, wind, and altitude. Tired us out! Fall Getaway 2021❤️

  Took off with our guys at 1:30p with limited luggage and many smiles!  Surprise Trip to Buena Vista, CO day1 We were all so excited to take off on a fun adventure together! The boys are really excited to head back to one of our favorite places from our RV trip Summer 2020🏔Here We Go!!! Landed! I don’t remember much after we landed because sadly I got really sick from the altitude change. No fun!! 👎🏻 However, after dinner, the boys stopped here for a quick pic out in the snow!! Thankfully once we got to our place in Buena Vista I started feeling much better. My body was totally in shock mode, I guess. We made it safe and now all ready for bed. Can’t wait for our adventures tomorrow! Fall Getaway 2021❤️🏔
