colorado! ~day 1

brandon's parents spend most of august in colorado every year :)  this year was extra special though because they invited us to tag along for part of it!!!  yee haw!  we flew into eagle and 20 minutes later we were having a glass of wine on the patio in the amazingly perfect weather...

we stayed in bachelor gulch...5 minutes from beaver creek, 10 minutes from vail.  EVERYONE we met was from dallas or houston...longhorns all over the place!

 enjoying the weather...so strange to need a jacket!

ice cream immediately!  ellis went to the ritz kids club for the night and had a BLAST.  met lots of fun girls...got to go swimming in the grotto of the spa and do a scavenger hunt on the property...she got out at 10 p.m.

they have so many games for kids (and adults)...horseshoes, ladder ball, ping pong, etc

emery made herself lots of friends...just look for the stroller and you will find her

all of the nannies knew her too...

beckett and nish!

the kids were taking turns with my camera

we did patio, hot tub, s'mores in the huge fire pit, and then inside for an awesome guy with a guitar until ellis was out of kids club...fun first day getting the lay of the land!
