SilverCreek Week


Our Traditional picture by the SilverCreek bear


Every year Todd's parents have a timeshare week in late July at SilverCreek Inn. It is right near the Sol Vista ski area. They have been going there every year since Todd was little. They have graciously invited us to join then or go up when they cant. We LOVE it! It is just the break we need. This year they were not able to make it up andwe only stayed Sunday night through Wed morning. Todd had to be back for scout camp and I had to be back for Pack Meeting- BBQ. Apparently our car had decidid to have us come back early too for a new fuel sensor something or other. We found out about that as we were driving up but were able to enjoy the trip safely until we got back.

We were sad that Brandon wasnt with us. His Scout Camp started superearly on Monday morning. He was able to stay over with his friend Andrew to get off in the morning. Anyhow, we had a great time. We brought the dogs and they were so happy, eecspecially since we had left them home on some other recent trips. We swam, had great bubble baths, went in the hot tubs, fished - Trevor caught a 25 incher!!, rested , watched cable tv (a luxury for us since Todd's accident), played racquetball, played card games, had smores and dutchoven recipes, and went to Grand Lake.

It really is a simple trip but it is so much fun and such a great tradition for our family. Thanks again Mom and Dad and we did miss you Brandon Boy!!!

Here we are at the visitors center. Todd and Christen actually climbed pretty far up the dunes. We had fun playing in Medano Creek after we climbed.
