Friday evening the kids made sure to start the weekend off with lots of swing time at Grampy and Sharona's house.
Then Saturday morning I timed a race for Simon in Avon which was fun for me because the race is put on by some friends we've know in the valley for many, many years so we always get to see familiar faces at the Angels in Action 5K. While I timed the race the kids and my parents came to participate in the day's events. Sharona walked the 5k with some friends while...
...Ava ran the kids race...
...and Grampy ran with Dylan to help him finish the race too.
After the kids had a great nap we drove into Vail to ride the gondola up the mountain.
We did some exploring on the path and...
...climbing on rocks, but mostly we...
...enjoyed the gorgeous views.
Don't be fooled as it looks like we did some great hiking, but it was more like a little hiking as we made our way over to...
...pet and feed the horses. Ava made sure to pet and feed each horse some grass while...
...this was a close as Dylan was going to get to the horses. He was so excited to see the horses from a distance, but when we got close to them he became nervous and only attempted to approach a very tiny pony.
Next we played at the adventure area where Ava enjoyed flipping upside down, Dylan spent lots of time petting the tiny pony, and the adults and kids all enjoyed listening to the live music with cocktails and snacks.
After a fun adventure on top the mountain we headed back down to find a place to eat dinner and stroll around the village. What a great weekend up in the mountain and since we were having so much fun Ava decided to stay another night so we'll hear more about the rest of her weekend when she comes home Monday.

Looks so pretty there! I wish I lived closer! :)
Agreed, Julie!! It looks soooo beautiful there. When we come and visit, I will definitely be taking a turn on one of those swings, too!
