Victorian Tea

Our friends the Schamels hosted a Victorian Tea a couple days ago, and very nice it was! Felicia and I rented a dress, Ellie thankfully already had one, Nic rented clothes, and Dad looked very nice in old duds of his own :) It was fun to walk around in hoopskirts all afternoon! Check out the rest of the pics HERE.

VICTORIAN TEA

Camping and Climbing!!

About a week ago, we did what is fast becoming an annual tradition of camping with our dear friends the Schwisows. This time we camped near the 14ner Mount Bierstadt and climbed it on Saturday! We spent two nights fellowshipping and enjoying one another's company. We DID get rained on a couple times :p but nothing serious. God's creation is astounding.... See all the pics HERE.

The view from the top. And believe me, it's 10x more amazing in person... Go on my facebook to see a video I took at the top.

Mary and I hanging out by the camp fire the first day :) My hood is on because it was (sadly) drizzling :(

Breckenridge July 2011

Once again we got to enjoy the beauty of Breckenridge, CO. The twins, Robert, Cora, and I made a day of it last Weds, and it was marvelous! The most beautiful place on earth I have ever yet seen... Go HERE for all the pics. Thanks to Cora for many of these pics.

The ladies of the party: Katie, Patricia, Cora, Mary.

The wig and hat shop is a MUST in Breck ;) Free fun!

Ice Skating!

About a week ago the ice skating was only $1! So we went and had a ball... I personally didn't skate as I don't feel my wrist is QUITE strong enough yet to withstand a fall (which is very likely to happen haha) but it was fun to take pics! Go HERE for all of the pics...

Patricia, Elizabeth, and Cora.

Everyone who skated!

16th ST

My Grandma and cousin Cora from Florida are here to stay for ten days! And we've had quite a wonderful time with them... They are so dear to us! One of the first days they were here, we spent the day at 16th St Mall downtown having a marvelous time doing girly things :) See all the pice HERE.

The old pianos on the street are so cool! And they actually sound pretty fine too.

Hat shops are delightful.
