Crested Butte

We just returned from an incredible weekend with friends in Crested Butte. We went for long walks, visited local coffee shops, hiked, played in the park with kids, drank wine, cooked dinner and even saw a strange but entertaining, mother-earthish, town tradition bonfire. The bonfire was a fun bonus and Ben thought it was hilarious and cheered and clapped and then promptly fell asleep as soon as we sat him down in his stroller.

What happens when you think 3AM is party time
It is so good to get away for a few days and to find a new a different pace. Having no agenda, just going with whatever we fee like. Coffee at 6:30 AM? Hellooo yes! Coffee at 10AM? Of course! Coffee at 3:00? Great! Wine at 4:00? Even better! Now if Ben would have decided to sleep this weekend instead of crying and thinking play time starts at 3am it would have been perfect. But he is only one year old I can't get too mad and hold it against him. Now, If he pulls this at ten there might be words and screaming, but for now we will just let it go. 

The Wills and the Wells
I loved seeing the raw natural beauty of this place. It was such a gift and reminded me of how vast and varied this world is. To be surrounded by magnificent peaks and the clearest blue sky everywhere you looked was so moving and breathtaking. The Aspen trees were numerous there and all had changed color and were shimmering and golden. Thank you God for creating Aspen trees! I love them! And thank you Wills family for a great weekend and sharing a place you love with us. We feel very blessed.
