Family retreat in Winter Park

The weekend after Breckenridge (Labor Day weekend), we met up with my entire family in Winter Park for another little weekend getaway and for everyone to meet Evan (well, everyone besides my mom and sister, who had already spent a good amount of time with him).  The Bundy's came too because, well, they are basically part of the family :)  It was a lot of fun and I felt like I didn't even have a child the whole weekend because everyone else wanted to hold him so much.

We stayed in a really nice condo with a hot tub and a great view of the mountains.  We enjoyed doing a couple nature walks/hikes, checking out the resort and going on the alpine slide, playing games at the condo and just enjoying each other's company.

Everyone loved holding Evan!

More pictures of all the love Evan got!

His favorite "superbaby" hold (I promise he can breathe)

He sure was a happy boy all weekend!

Brody, Cam and Brad went climbing one morning

Then we walked around the resort.  We stopped and played bean bag toss for a while which was really fun!

My mom happily offered to stay with Evan while we did the alpine slide.
He was a dream and slept the whole time in his stroller.

I forgot how fun these things are!

All of us!

While on our nature walk, it started hailing on us.... HARD! There were no trees nearby to shield us, so we just had to take it.  I've never been stuck outside during a hailstorm before.  It HURTS!! 

Hail.

We found this cool, old cemetery while on our walk.  I love finding stuff like this!

The cute little downtown area where we ate dinner

These guys all did a pretty intense hike to James Peak.
They were not anticipating how cold it would be at the top, but I think they still had fun anyway?
Afterwards, they took a well deserved soak in the hot tub

Playing games at the condo

Brody was being really cute and playing with the girls for a while one afternoon

Cam was a little nervous holding Evan at first but he quickly became very good at being an uncle!

Grandma Lee and Evan reunite!

We had a great time!!  Everyone loved Evan and Evan loved everyone!

I want to go back! That was so much fun! Your synopsis and pictures made it look as fun as it was! I loved how everyone couldn't get enough of Evan and how you didn't even feel like a mom cause everyone always wanted to hold him! That's awesome.

This was such a fun trip!!! I want to go back too. You are always so good at documenting everything. I love that about you and I wish I was better at it.
