Summer in Telluride

Having Fun

Kent and I got to go back to Telluride Colorado again this year. More than 2 weeks together in the mountains.  It was wonderful.

The Neuromorphs entered Brainzilla in the Fourth of July Parade.  The kids all floated along.  Kent later enjoyed the kids contests at the town park. We spent a lot of time with Waloodi.

Even the Telluride Academy got into the dress-up spirit.  One day many of the kids came back dressed up as robots.

We wore the boys out.  They were happy to stay home and color.

Climbing

Kent spent two days climbing with San Juan Outdoor School.  He had a blast!

Shihab ran and finished the Hardrock 100 (100 miles of running, 33000 feet of climbing, no sleep for 48 hours). We got to see him as he ran through Telluride.

We went as far as the Needleton stop so we could explore the mountains.  We didn't go very far--just far enough to find a creek where a beaver had cut down some trees.

Telluride Academy Overnight Camp

The parents got to spend one night with the kids on their overnight camp. We camped at Sunrise Mesa, at 11000 feet, in a large meadow.  It was very quiet and very beautiful.

Eric lowered the cookstove so the kids could cook breakfast.  Good idea.

Gold Mining

Kent enjoyed the underground mine tour at the Bachelor-Syracuse mine in Ouray, Colorado.  (On the way to Telluride we stopped in Leadville to see the mining museum there.  Kent especially enjoyed the underground exhibits.)

After Telluride we spent a weekend in Fort Collins with the Osborns.  We all had a grand time.

Heading Home

It was hard to leave Colorado.  Kent wanted to say hello to the pilot. The pilot plopped Kent into his seat and told Dad "fork over the camera."  Kent was happy.  Thanks Frontier.
