July in Beaver Creek

Our good friends, Shauna and Doug, were in Beaver Creek (near Vail) for a dental conference and invited us up to spend Saturday with them. It was GORGEOUS up there! Wild flowers were in bloom everywhere and everything was so lush and green.
The boys loved the hike we went on, although Logan and Jaden sat down a couple times on the way up the trail because they were just "too tired." Good thing we saw some deer right then to perk them up! We got caught in a rainstorm the last 10 minutes of our hike which added to the adventure.
The two girls, 4 weeks apart in age, and very similar in personality. So funny together!
The whole crew around the fire pit. We were quite the entertainment for all the childless, wine-drinking, adults trying to enjoy the scenery.
After the hike we sat around the fire pit to roast marshmallows - $12 for a smores kit from the resort, isn't that ridiculous? But the kids were dying for smores so we gave in :) Thanks for a great Saturday, Brown family, we had a blast!

Looks like a gorgeous hike! That area is so gorgeous!
Erik and I are moving to Junction...August 1st! Erik's opening up his own law firm. It's crazy scary, but exciting too. We're going to need a good dentist. :) We need to get together. I've actually been here since June, but I'm doing my internship & putting in tons of hours.
