Steamboat Springs

We just returned from a four day trip to Steamboat where we attended my good friend's wedding. It was the perfect weekend! We had great weather and were non-stop busy! We were so fortunate to have Grammy and Pepe join us! We can't thank them enough for watching the kids (and Sierra too) while Jamie and I attended all the many wedding festivities. I know Isabelle and Mark loved being with them and we were so happy to be able to hang out with all of our friends.
Having fun with Pepe in our fantastic condo!
 
While Jamie and I were out, Belle and Mark got to go on many adventures with Grammy and Pepe. There was a great playground next to our condo, the river, and the ski jump hill where you could watch them jump (yes, even this time of year with no snow). We also were right in town, so they got to go out and get gelato! Here are some pictures Pepe took while walking through town.


All my high school friends were there which was not only great fun for me, but for Isabelle and Mark too. We brought the kids to the playground one day and they had a great time playing together. This is only a few of the many kids having a snack.
 
 The last day we finally found some time to go to the hot springs.
 
 

Isabelle loved this slide. I'm not sure what it is? A crab? A ladybug? Anyway, she would go down, splash into the water, be completely submerged, and pop herself back up. She did it about a dozen times. She is so brave and such a good swimmer.

 At the kiddie pool...
FYI from Belle....mom's an alligator and Belle is the baby alligator.
Even though he never slept, you would never know. He is his happy, cheerful self during the day. Little stinker.
 A very rare moment....a picture of me and Jamie, dressed up. This was the view from the wedding. It only got better with the sunset. The next day the leaves totally changed colors. Amazing what can happen in one night. We hope to get to the mountains again soon, but this time to hike in the fall colors.

We went to those same hot springs when we were in Steamboat this summer, I loved it there! It sounds like so much fun and you and Jamie look so great all dressed up! Plus, I'm 150% sure that Belle is the prettiest little girl ever.
