Slide Fun

Enjoying the outdoors at Mountain Meadows is a family favorite past time! Mae and Owen spend LOTS of time on the fort at the cabin. We play hide and seek in the grass, visit the cows and horses nearby, go on golfcart and jeep rides, jump on the tramp, bathe Noah, and play in the creeks. Mae is about to start Busy Bee's in a few weeks...Owen and I get to walk Mae to school as it is just around the corner from our house. Mae and Owen are enjoying the river and have been out twice for raft trips! On our most recent hike we got to see a bear! Owen can't stop saying 'see bear' to everyone we talk to. Noah's Ark is just about to close down for the winter...we are sad to not have staff dinners with our new friends and will miss playing with the other staff kids in the evenings. Julie, Kimberly, my dad, Melissa, George and Gracie made it up for a visit! We toured Noah's, went climbing, ate treats and K's, and enjoyed one another's company. So thankful to have family come from far away to visit.
Fall is around the corner and we can't wait for more family time together and for fun outings with friends. Always thinking of our friends and family! Love to all of you reading this!

Mae is 4!

Mae had an exciting fourth birthday celebrating with her mom and dad, brother Owen, and Grandpa and Grandma at her new home in Buena Vista. Swimming at the Salida pool is one of her favorite things to do and we all headed down to swim with the birthday girl. Mae mentioned a few days after she turned four that she doesn't feel any different than before. :) Owen loved watching Mae opened her gifts and singing happy birthday to his big sister! His big day is next in our family!
