Frisco, CO

We had our almost annual trip to Frisco, CO with Scott's family.  We realized that this was our 7th year to visit.  Evidently we really hate it there.
Eli spent his 5th birthday on a plane to get there, but didn't seem to mind.  It just meant he got his presents a few days early.  Then received more once he got there.  Lots of Legos.  And his dad and uncle Randy had more fun with those than he did I think. He also went on his annual birthday train ride.  He was a happy boy.
It was lovely as usual. And the kids had lots of cousin time with Grace & Mya.  Sometimes I am amazed that they don't want to strangle each other by the time it's done.  We hike and play and this year we went to a new mountain park.

they REALLY enjoyed watching Bebe roll down a hill

Glenwood Springs Caverns.  It was pretty neat doing the caves.  Eli especially liked it.  Evi got to play tour guide on one.  She had to hold a flash light and tell everyone in our group as they passed that the light was focused on the 'heart of the cave'.  (a formation that truly looked like a large human heart)
Eli had his first taste of playing baseball.  They kids and adults play it in the yard behind the house Bebe so kindly rents for us. And he is hilarious.  He was wiggling his butt to get ready to bat. The hand eye coordination isn't quite there yet, but he'll get there.  Now Evi, that girl impresses me when she hits a ball.
