We decided on a family vacation in Breckenridge this summer…because I was able to find availability with my timeshare. I haven’t been to Breckenridge since college days of skiing. I have never been there in the summer. The family vacation included the Lyon ladies, Aunt Terri and Grandma & Grandpa. Saturday, July […]

Day One: Frontier Days and Concerts Our Estes Park adventure started with a stop in Cheyenne for Frontier Days. Terri and Andy had purchased tickets for the girls to see Journey. Journey is one of Terri’s favorite bands. Emersyn knows some of their songs because our 80’s music is used for the wii […]

Our five families were: * Mary, Kelly and Erin were coming from Michigan. * Hilary, Jack and Michael were coming from Seattle. * Jennifer, Sean and Sophie were coming from North Carolina. […]

After our extended family dinner last night, we hadn’t packed a thing for Tahoe. Time was spent cleaning the house (always a big one when you are not living there). When Emersyn finally arrived in California, one of the top priority was a follow up on her bone cyst. Jim took her to see […]

I had this crazy idea to spend Halloween in America. Eleri has never spent Halloween in the States and Emersyn was two the last time she trick-or treated on our street. The girls have a long weekend after Halloween to only miss three days of school. Grandma and Grandpa were in California for a […]

After enjoying lunch in the dinning hall of Skylake Camp, it was time to hit the road. We had a long drive to Lake Tahoe. The girls settled into the back seat while we quizzed Emmy about camp. Finally, we let her watch her iTouch. I guess after two weeks of no electronics she […]

It is time to go get Emersyn from camp. She has been gone for two weeks and we all miss her…probably more than she misses us. Skylake Camp is located about 45 minutes outside of Yosemite National Park. We haven’t been to Yosemite since Emersyn was 18 months old when we went for a […]

Emersyn is off to her first over-night sleep camp. This camp only offers 2-weeks as a minimum stay. The Greer children, Katy and Margaret, have gone for the past 3 years and love it. Emmy could not go to the same session (D) as Margaret because it was full and we needed to come […]

Estes Park is a 3.5 hour drive from Mitchell. If Grandpa had his way, he would have us on the road at 5am “to beat the traffic”. Not sure what traffic Grandpa is referring to in Nebraska! We talked him into 7am. After being out late for the 4th of July, 7am was plenty […] |
