Spring in the Rocky Mountains is here!

As if on cue, the day after Breckenridge closed, the weather snuck into the high 60s!

I took these phots from atop one of my favorite runs on Sunday, a warm, sunny, perfect closing day!

With the nearest open ski resort now 1hr 10 min. away and the snow melting fast, it will not be an everyday thing anymore. So today we:

Took the kids on wagon rides in Gail's tractor trailor!

The pet parade followed...Joss, Gail and I even waved like Beauty Queens!

Joss learned to steer the kids' quad very, very well!!

And she fancied up her helmet w/ girlie stickers and refused to take her walkie talkie off!

The boys braved the big hills together on their quad.

Wearing their snowboard helmets and goggles!

And when they got stuck...nothing like a little brother to put to work pushing uphill. (Typical!)

And when their quad battery ran out, they rode with daddy.

The Haddad boys made a quad track in our yard,

And ventured offroad into the forest preserve.

And returned hours later after a gentlmen's picnick in the forest.

Breck was tuckered out from all the running around chasing the quad, so Tye and Joss snuggled up with him on the floor. (Ummmm...with MY quilt, kiddos!!!)

And the boys were boys...digging in the dirt.

Daddy and Joss enjoyed some quiet time on the deck,

with this as their view. (and all those Aspens will get their leaves very soon!)

Tye looked dapper as always.

The kids hiked around trying to find the BBs we shot at the chipmunks!

And they played a little more baseball and Breck fetched them the balls.

Jake wanted to ride alone.

So Tye found random treasures (junk) in the yard (like the wire lassoe around his neck...great.)

It was another day to remember. Many, many, many more to come.
