Beaver Fever

We ♥ Beaver Creek, Colorado! We spent the most wonderful 4 day weekend in Colorado to celebrate the wedding of Andy and Mandi. The wedding itself was on the mountaintop at Beano's Cabin and was intimate and personal and so very Andy and Mandi. The scenery was breathtaking, the vows tearjerking, the porcupines brash, the dinner exquisite, the music fantastic and the entire night was completely memorable.

Saturday was spent watching Michigan's victory, lounging in the sun by the pool, and taking the chairlift up the Rocky's for a 3+ hour hike. This hike was a highlight for us. The beauty is indescribable. So are our friendships. We love our EGR friends and always have the best time when we all get together.



On the way to the airport on Sunday we allowed ourselves extra time so that we could take the especially scenic route along Highway 6 over Loveland Pass. When we got out of the car at almost 12,000 feet elevation we noticed immediately that the temperature had dropped 40 degrees (to 43 degrees). And the view...WOW.



We are thankful to Andy and Mandi for this opportunity to spend a fall weekend in their beautiful state. And we are also extremely appreciative to Hamma, Dave and Molly B for dedicating their weekends to driving to Chicago and watching Eloise. To spend 4 days with our friends toddler-free was amazing...thank you!
