Rocky Mountains part deux

We leave on Thursday for another Rocky Mountain adventure. This time we're staying in country, heading to Breckenridge for a week in a beautiful house with the Roberts family. Emily, Luke, Susie, and John have been up there since this past weekend, and Jeff Lydecker and Matt and I join them for the second week on Friday. Matt and I are driving, and we are going to use all our new camping equipment at Sugarite Canyon State Park in New Mexico on the Colorado border. Then we'll have a nice little car ride into Breckenridge on Friday. So we'll hang at the house for at least a week, and then we'll either leave either the next Friday or Saturday with plans to camp sometime on the road or just drive it all in one day. We're really looking forward to hiking, fishing, and hopefully whitewater rafting! With all of us there, we should have an entire raft to ourselves! In case anyone is concerned, Piper is spending the week with Grampa Hall - he's going to spoil her rotten, I just know it!

Oh, and couple random things. I forgot to mention in my last post another one of my recent activities. I went to the Fort Worth Zoo on July 11 with Malaika, Jennifer, and Sarpong's 2-year-old daughter Abigail. Jen wanted to go for her birthday, so Malaika and I fought off our overnight-induced sleepiness and accompanied her. It was really fun - highlights included the reptile house, tigers, hippos, elephants, and primates. It was also fun being there with a young (well-behaved) child - we could be as goofy as we wanted gawking at the animals and could attribute it to doing it all for Abigail. I hadn't been to that zoo in a really long time, if ever, so that was neat too. Second random thing: if you haven't looked at them yet, Leslie has some fun wedding week pictures on overt's gallery [here].

I am so envious of your big adventure! Think of us when you stop at the Dairy Queen for a dip cone on the road to Colorado! And don't worry about Piper; we promise to give her back when you return....maybe
