Up until now we've been a little silent on this Pagosa Springs vacation. We've just been too darn busy having fun! :-) We've hiked familiar trails like the one to Treasure Falls - Ice Cave Ridge and Piedra falls - and four brave souls ventured out on a new one to see what lay at the of trail to Four Mile Falls. On the way you notice Isaac had to hold up a tree so that everyone could get past. Way to go big guy! On this vacation we were joined by Eric and Deanna Martens and their children, Dave and Stacy Lentz and their children (all first timers to the Pagosa Springs area) and Ben , Zach and Joe were back to have some more fun before heading off to the navy and college. We were very happy that they could all share this special place and time with us - and we hope they all had fun.
This week in Pagosa Springs we stayed in Eagle's lofts and in Teal landings - met for a couple of meals - and everybody enjoyed doing some things together - but mostly did their own thing. (We hardly saw the older boys at all - which is how it was supposed to be on their senior trip LOL). The blue grass festival was just kicking off as we all were packin' up. A few took in the free concert.One family went to Mesa Verde - I hear they had a wonderful time. If they blog as a group - I will have them link their blog to here.
Of the Hikes - Nicole still hasn't told me which one she liked best - I think she'll get back to me on that, but not the one that just went Up - up - up (ice cave ridge).
I didn't go on as many hikes as usual - but hopefully next time I will be fit as a fiddle and ready to go on them all. Of the ones I did this year - I liked the Ice Cave Ridge. I always seem to find something new up there on the ridge to see. Although this year I did not do any crazy dances on the edge. I stayed well back.
The kids also had a lot of fun at the rec center. I heard that some even tried out the racket ball court.
Our deck had a great view of the lake and a great mix of shade and sun so we were able to use it a good part of the day. A wonderful place to relax and read. I'm finished with all of the books that I brought along!
Until the next vacation - I don't know where that will be!
