The last seven days have past with a downhill pace! We returned to Winter Park and our same condo on August 1st. Kerrie and Skylar joined us on the 4th and the Derkits’ train rolled in on Aug 6th. There’s been an adventure of one sort or another for everyone. Cross country trail biking was the first order of business for James, Laura, Kerrie and Des. Everyone loved the Creekside trail. Jen hiked with the kiddos and searched for moose, but no luck. Next up was the 22 mile Winter park to Granby ride for Laura, Kerrie and Jen. Questionable navigation put them at the top of a semi downhill trail in Grand Bike Park but they managed the rocks and narrow fast course and finished strong! Des and Kai led James on full downhill biking the following day. James did awesome and got a few breathless thrills. Kai had his best runs of the summer and was super happy. Eli and Skylar loved the alpine slide and climbing wall. 

The last evening together bowling at The Foundry was memorable. Kerrie bowled the game of her life and Des beat everyone despite forgetting his socks.  Chicken wings “were back!” and we took advantage! 

Our friends departed today with great memories and plans to return next summer. We have a couple more days in the mountains and will savor every cool one.
