We were able to get away to my parents house for the long weekend. We enjoyed our time with time very much, and we are so blessed and lucky to have them in our lives. Uncle Nick and Aunt Megan were up too for the first night and we had the first campfire all summer! Cecilia got a bunch of little thorns in her jammies when she walked through a bush out to the fire. Her Jessie doll got some too. Jon and I spent a good five to ten minutes de-burring her. Once we made it to the fire, it was so fun to roast marshmallows and make s'mores with the girls.
Jon was also able to go for a hike and try to find some elk. It was good for him to get away and find some clarity. He took these amazing pictures.
My mom and I tried to go for a run. HA! Let me tell you, my Mom, she is super woman. What they say about altitude, its totally true. I about died about six minutes into our run. I had to walk by eight minutes. I felt so pathetic! It was like I was being bear hugged by an elephant. I could not breathe it was like someone stole all of the oxygen. And, not to mention all of the hills. There really is no even terrain up there, so my cadence was always different to compensate for going up hill or down hill. I think I'll stick to running in town and walking in the mountains.
Cecilia and Lilly had a great time playing at Mammaw & Pop's house, so did Stella. We even celebrated Jon's birthday a little early with chocolate cake. We had a nice getaway, and are grateful to have my parents!
