Happy Birthday America! We love celebrating you by doing all things American... tons of food, loud obnoxious belly laughing, black socks with sandals, and partaking in thy beauty! We spent the weekend in Breckenridge, CO with Matt's family - it's tradition for us to be together up in the mountains. Doris rented a beautiful home, and we all stay together and played. Friday our bellies truly ached from having laughed so hard.
Matt and I enjoyed the local parade, where the sled dogs pulling people on scooters were the highlight, with the tiny goat coming in a close second.
Sweet land of liberty
Like congo and pecan pie bars much?
We spent Saturday on the boat tubing and wake boarding. It was awesome, though a bit nippy... and I finally got up on the wake board (but no picture to prove it).
Matt killed it on the wake board
Little Matty got tired so he napped on a giant rock.... ahh to be 8 again.
Matt even makes sparklers look gangsta
I know I look homeless in this picture. I ate so much I wanted to put on one of Matt's shirts.
Gorgeous home we stayed in
Christine's cute table decorations. She served all food invented in America or considered to be distinctly American (hamburgers, macaroni & cheese, chocolate chip cookies...). She also put facts under everyone's plate about how and where the different foods were developed.
This picture about sums it up. Thank you Mickey and Doris for a fab trip!!
