After such an amazing day last year, we knew this would be the perfect trip for the Duttons. We invited the whole crew out, and they came! We were so excited, and we had so much fun!

We went on a hike one day very similar to the one we took with the Lawsons. We planned to do the same one but couldn’t seem to find the right trail this time. The hike was still amazing, and the kids did awesome.

On one particularly hot day, I pulled out some homemade popsicles I had on hand, and they were a huge hit!

Of course we headed down to the 4th of July parade and had a blast gathering candy and seeing the sights.

That afternoon we made hats and all sorts of other fun crafty things.

I even hung the creations up in my laundry room after they left so I’d always remember. 😉

I took these two to a showing of Frozen on the green. It was free and such a fun. Mark, Uncle Ray Ray and Aunt Heather caught up with us later. But I had a lot of fun with these two!

I think they love each other.

Everyone came out to watch Daddy play softball one night. Talk about some fun!

We went floating down the river. In all our time in Steamboat, we’d never managed to do this. It was tons of fun! Thanks to Grammy and Papa for keeping the littlest two.

We woke up early one morning for the Hot Air Balloon Festival. I looked forward to this all year. This was beautiful and fun!

We ate lunch at Sweet Peas. So yummy!

Maybe Grammy’s favorite place, we went to the natural hot springs. Such a lovely day and relaxing!

The whole week was wonderful. We felt blessed by their visit and amazed at their willingness to come. It’s a LOOOOOOOONG way from Virginia. Thanks, Duttons! You’re the best!
