Weekend In The Mountains

The Royal Family went on a fun weekend excursion with the Goodrow Gang. This is Joel's parents mountain home...

Gorgeous inside and out


Breathtaking views and highs in the 70's!

The Royal Family minus Charlie Dawg and me ; )

Path to the...
...amazing outdoor fireplace!
David LOVED riding in the jeep. This was just one of many firsts for him this weekend. He would jump up and down in excitement before he got to ride in it......and cry when he had to get out. David and Elena while visiting a nearby waterfall. These two act more like brother and sister right now, but if you ask David who is girlfriend is he says "Nena" (photo courtesy of the Goodrow Gang)

Charlie Dawg enjoying the fresh mountain air.

David roasting his first marshmallow.

This was actually his first taste of one too! I guess he likes them because he kept shoveling them in his mouth one after another! (photo courtsey of the Goodrow Gang)


On the way home yesterday, we stopped in a nearby town and went to evening mass. David asked why we were stopping and Jason told him we needed to thank Jesus for our weekend in the mountains. During the Gospel reading David spontaneously blurts out "Thank you Jesus for the mountains!" Upon entering Jason's truck this conversation ensued...

Jason: "You made Jesus so happy when you thanked him for the mountains."


David: "He's sad."


Jason: "Who's sad?"


David: "Jesus."


Jason: "Why?"


David: "Because he wants you to take me to the mountains again...and again and again and again and again!"


Visit the Goodrow Gang for more pictures and two super cute videos of David and Charlie Dawg.

This has got to be one of the best blogs ever. I love David's "thank you, Jesus!" and his quick thinking in justifying his needs to get back to the mountains!!! We miss you guys!
