Woodbury's Lake

Our great friends, the Woodbury's invited the whole family to come play at their lake, well...their community lake...for an evening of fun! Andi and her kiddos, Brea and Ben and Mom and Dad all hung out with us and Jane and Martin Woodbury for a picnic and boating. The Woodbury's taught me to water ski and tube behind a boat when I was a youngin' so I was very excited to let them take my kids for a spin. All the kids had a blast tubing! Memories were definitely made by all. On a personal note, I spent the majority of the time laughing until I cried at the hilarious faces my kids made while being whipped around the lake. It was awesome!!

Camping in Leadville!

The historic city of Leadville is North America's highest incorporated city (10,430 feet elevation), and the frontier West's wildest, richest, silver mining Boom Town. Now the town is near the base of a new mining operation,the Climax Molybdenum Mine. My brother Mat works for the mining industry and moved his family from Denver to Leadville at the beginning of the year and they have loved it. The scenery is breath taking. The hiking and biking trails are unsurpassed. The people and the community are eclectic and fun. We had the pleasure of visiting Leadville, camping and playing for a few days. We kayaked, fished, biked and laughed...a lot!! It was so much fun!!
