Life's Everyday Blessings: Crested Butte

Crested Butte

Over Labor Day weekend, we ventured to Crested Butte for the wedding of Steve's sister Kathy and her fiance Grant. Neither Steve nor I had been there before, so it was an adventure for both of us. We left on Friday morning. It was a nice drive through a beautiful part of Colorado. We checked into our hotel, and Stephen began exploring his new surroundings.

We headed to the church for the rehearsal. The rehearsal dinner was at a pizza place where we sat outside.

Paul hung out in his car seat.

On Saturday morning we headed to town to check out the artisians' fair, stores, and eat breakfast. Then we went exploring in the car so Stephen would get a nap. We found some beautiful views.

This is one of my favorites.

We went back to the hotel to get ready for the wedding. It was a beautiful ceremony.

Steve walked his sister down the aisle.

Eating something to pass the time before dinner...isn't he handsome!

We waited too long to take our family picture. :)

Stephen played Chinese Checkers with Morgan and another little girl.

Where's Stephen?

There he is! He liked using the heater as a stepstool.

Swimming with Daddy

Paul liked the water for a few minutes. Then he sat bundled up in his carseat and waited for us.

Sunday was a pretty laid-back day. We went to Mass, ate breakfast, walked around the town some more, took naps, and ate dinner. After we got everything packed up on Monday, we used the free lift tickets we got. Stephen did a really good job on the lift. He enjoyed seeing the trees up close.
