Vail with the Westgards

This past Sunday we drove up to Vail for the afternoon to enjoy the summertime mountains and visit our friends Paul and Marcy. We met our friends Paul and Marcy while we were in PT school and not soon after came Eli, their newfoundland/st. bernard mix puppy. It didn't take Eli long to grow into a giant dog!

The Westgard clan just moved back to Vail this past year and we love having them close by! The kids enjoyed the day in Vail and visiting with Eli "daddy dog" and Walter "the baby dog." Their dogs may be about the same age but since Eli is as big as a bear you can see their point. We took their bikes so they could cruise through Vail Village and we enjoyed a nice dinner and of course ice cream! A trip to the mountains in the summertime is like heaven on earth!

Big Eli..

Enjoying a run around the pirate ship park...


The creek was running fast and high but there were still a few kayakers braving the water.


Running off some energy around the fountain. Surprisingly neither Dre nor Carter fell in the water!




They're tough to keep up with anymore on their balance bikes!
