Grandma, Papa and Tyler's Visit !!

We had Grandma, Papa, and Tyler in to visit for a week so we decided to take a trip to Tamarack over the Labor Day weekend. Jeff and his dad were able to golf at Jug Mountain Ranch on Friday and also at Tamarack on Saturday. Two places that he has definitely been looking forward to playing. It was Kaden's first time in the mountains and he was so excited. He kept saying that we were at "Our House" in the mountains. We stayed in a townhouse in Tamarack and it was absolutely beautiful up there. I was however a little disappointed because I thought there would be more to do up there. I guess with all of the financial problems the resort is having the construction has come to a halt. It was kind of like a ghost town.

The first day, Kaden, Jaxon, Grandma and I drove up together. We found out that we would not be able to get into our townhouse until 4 so we thought we would have a bite to eat and see what the resort had to offer. Well, I was a little disappointed because it was like a ghost town. The only place to eat was at the little market. All of the restaurants were closed with the exception of the one at the Lodge. So we just got a quick bite at the Market. We tried to eat outside, but the bees were terrible !! Once we finished, we walked down to the area where the chair lifts were. Kaden kept calling them the Zip line. He said that he wanted to ride the "Zip line". So I stayed with Jaxon and Grandma and Kaden trekked down to the lift. Neither of us knew that it was actually quite a walk to get to the lift. Grandma was wearing her slip on shoes, white pants and Kaden was wearing flip flops, but that didn't stop them. I kept wondering why it was taking so long, then I realized what lift they had gone up. It was Kaden's first time on a chairlift and it went probably two thirds up the mountain. Grandma did not realize that it was going to go so high, but Kaden absolutely LOVED IT !! I tried to take a picture of them coming down, but I did not have my telephoto lens on so they look like little dots in the picture.

Jeff and I had scheduled to do the Zip Line on Sunday, and of course, the weather was 50 degrees and a down pour. I was really looking forward to spending some time with Jeff and the experience of the Zip Line together, but I guess we will just have to try and do it another time. I did however get a massage instead, which was really nice. I think Jeff felt bad that we were not able to go and wanted to do something for me. Thanks Honey !! It was nice to be able to relax and enjoy the outdoors. Both Kaden and Jaxon love to be outside, I wonder where they get it ?? Daddy ??? (Another post to follow of Daddy and Kaden in the outdoors.)

It was great having Jeff's mom here, she loves just to spend time with the kids. She is great !! I feel guilty when she leaves, because I feel like she does so much for me. Helps with the kids, cooks dinner and yes, even does my laundry !! She assured me that her mother used to do the same for her. Somehow, I don't think THANK YOU is ever enough !! I'm sure Jeff loved it, because he actually had clean underwear and great home cooked meals when she was here!!

Here are some great photos of Grandma and Papa with my BUG, (my little love BUG !!) Those baby blues could melt any heart !!

It was a great time had by all. It seemed to fly by too... quickly. We loved having everyone to visit !! More to come on Daddy and Kaden !!!
