The Wilhelm's came, they brought tri-tip


and they left a pair of socks and a camera somewhere in my house. Ha, what can I say, it was wonderful having Dad, Dil and Amy here. If only we lived closer. Seriously people, let's make this happen. We had a week of playing, a few adventures, a few misadventures. Dad has thought of a new book....he calls it: Living Behind the Rail, adventures in playing it safe. He was inspired after a harrowing trip up the mountain via ski lift (thus the rail part of the title). Needless to say, I had no idea he was deathly afraid of heights. Luckily our week was front loaded with "adventures", so we stayed earthbound the last 6 days.

The best part about Dil and Amy playing with our kids is the age difference (or lack thereof). Uncle Dil, at the ripe age of 13, taught Cole the ways of the Japanese through anime books, "they're backwards!". Amy and Paige had many moments with nail painting, and girl talk. Lily and Grace squeezed themselves in where ever and however they could. Lily tagged along with the big girls and Grace fell in love with Dillon. Bless his heart. Besides Sundance, we hit Seven Peaks, set up a tent, went to Park city and hung at home. After a week of very late bedtimes, the kids are a little on the grumpy side. (or...uh, Mom is a little on the grumpy side) But after seeing the Dil & Amy off to the airport yesterday, we were feeling blue. Dad decided to continue his quest for adventure by heading to Taos & Sante Fe in search of adventure and Ms. O'Keefe. May the road rise up to meet you....in a very flat way. Love you guys!

Wow, I'm a little teary-eyed looking at those. They're wonderful, stand alone works of art. But with the stories behind them they become even more vibrant.
