First Annual Denver Health Residency Reunion

We just got back from a great trip to Colorado.  One of our most favorite trips to date...it was filled with lots of time spent with good friends and lots of time under the great blue Colorado sky.  Half way through the week we headed up to Mt. Princeton Hot Springs for our first residency reunion.  We had 16 adults and 8 children.  9 residents from the Denver Health emergency medicine program made the trip - Brad, Andy, Matt, Nate, Todd, Elijah, Ben, Zach, and Gaby!

We played in the hot spring pools, went for runs/walks/hikes, played tennis (kicked some butt in tennis actually), ate good food, celebrated Father's Day, and laughed a lot!  One night we went to Laughing Ladies in Salida (all 24 of us) and had some of the best food in all of Colorado.  Laughing Ladies is definitely my favorite restrurant in Colorado.  We've been there twice now with huge groups and each time the service and food has been spectacular.  Definitely worth a stop if you are ever in the mountains of Colorado!!

Early Summer Hiking

Brad and Anderson headed out on the first hike of the summer season...and Anderson first hike not in the backpack. In my opinion, Brad picked a pretty ambitious hike...Lake 22 off of the Mountain Loop Highway. It's a 2.7 mile hike one way. Brad said that Anderson pretty much ran up till about 1/2 way up and then he petered out. Brad carried Anderson on his shoulders for a lot of the trip down. He looks like such a big boy in these pictures...

Eating lunch on the trail...yummy!

Stay hydrated!!

Just taking a break...

Cousins

It was a busy month of May and I'm sorry for not posting more often.  I think I was in a fast forward tunnel all month...hopefully this is not a sign of how fast life will continue to go by and how fast Anderson will grow up.  Enjoy today and live in it...that's what I'm trying to do!!

My sister, Jennifer, and my sweet little niece, Elle, were out to visit in Washington for two weeks.  I should have got more pictures of her and Anderson playing together...it was a fun two weeks!  One of the weekends she was here we got together with all of the Lemon family and had a cousin play-date and threw Jennifer a shower for her second baby coming in September.  Enjoy the pictures below...

Robin and Elleanor (she looks scared!!)

  

We tried to get a good picture of Grandma and Grandpa Lemon with all of their great grandchildren.  It was pretty funny and impossible to get all of the kids and the grandparents looking and smiling at the same time...

Take 1...the big boys were ready and willing right off the bat but we had a few stragglers...

Take 2...not quite ready...

Take 3...look at those cheesers!!  Anderson was so happy to be a big boy like Hayden!

Take 4...almost...come Anderson, get it together!

Take 5...now we've pretty much lost everyone but Elleanor has finally decided to join the party.
