We rented a house in Breckenridge for the week.
It was just great to all be together. We took turns cooking meals, we read books, we watched very little TV, and we played a couple of games. (Ever play Pictophone? It's a pictionary version of telephone. So funny!) Some people went fishing, some went hiking, some people went kayaking and some rode horses.
Hubby and three of the kids went on a couple of hikes (the fourth kid wanted to fish). Someone had the brilliant idea to hike a 14,000 foot peak. (The following pictures are from my hubby's camera.) (I don't want to give the illusion that I climbed a 14,265 foot mountain peak.)
They were blessed with seeing a Ptarmigan...
(or was it a Mountain Chicken??)
...and some mountain goats with babies!
Meanwhile, back at the rental house, I was fixing lunch. I made this spicy pulled pork from Pioneer Woman and it was very, very good! The hiking gang was a couple of hours later getting back than they estimated and I was trying to not panic. (I didn't.) My son-in-law and I were passing the time watching a rodeo on TV. Real bonding time. :) Thankfully, the gang made it back in one piece, snarfed lunch, took showers and then crashed for naps.
That evening, we walked across the street to see a movie. Low key is what those hikers needed.
Like I said earlier, I just loved being able to all be together I am thankful everybody was able to take the same week off for some family time. Thanks to you all!!

I love the mountains too. You got some beautiful pictures and it looks like such a nice getaway. How fun to have everyone together somewhere relaxed and low key.
