Firekeeper Vacation

This year was the fourth annual Firekeepers vacation. The Firekeepers went to Estes Park for the weekend. We stayed at the YMCA Camp of the Rockies. We had a blast! It was beautiful there and we made the most of the short time we had there. We swam, hiked, read books, played games, tested our MONK trivia, ate junk food, took a nature class and enjoyed spending time together.

Estes Park was holding a Scandinavian Festival this weekend. We celebrated K and A's heritage with flower crowns, dancing and shopping. The girls tried their cooking skills at the Viking camp. We had a great lunch on the patio by the river and bought some necklaces at our favorite store in Estes. The girls loved playing in the river.

The YMCA camp is so neat. They have anything you could imagine. We all agreed that one night was not nearly enough. Next time we will plan better and take advantage of more good stuff.

We missed D of course, but this fellow and his son stood in for pictures.

The big girls like the playground, indoor pool and "animal detectives" class they took. C enjoyed icecream, bubbles and being with the big girls. It was great to see them get along and how much they had matured during the year. Those blonde gals are treasured friends. We look forward to Firekeeper vacation #5.
