Kennedy Connection: Vacation

Our family was extremely blessed to be able to take a vacation to Breckenridge, Colorado last week. Before I go off into details let me back up a little bit...

Overlooking Breckenridge

On July 12 Davis headed for South Dakota with Grandpa and Grandma (Salyna's dad & stepmom). He had a fun week of playing in the dirt, fishing, spending some time with his cousin, and just having a little vacation of his own, away from the rest of us!

Then on the 17th the rest of us headed for Alamosa, CO... where Miles' mom & stepdad live. We spent a relaxing night and morning there before heading to Breckenridge on the 18th where we stayed for a whole week! Davis and Grandpa and Grandma joined us the 22nd-25th... then it was Sydni's turn to go to South Dakota!

This is the view we had of Lincoln... he did great traveling!

This is the view we had for most of the trip to CO... not our favorite!

Now this view is a little better... near Alamosa.

Who had more fun, Lincoln or Grandma Cookie?

Andrew riding with Grandpa Don.

Another good-bye

This was our first "real" vacation in over 3 yrs... by "real" I mean, not visiting family for a holiday or funeral. We had a lot of time to relax and just enjoy being together. Of course we did some fun stuff too... Sydni & Salyna went horseback riding, we took a couple scenic drives through the mountains, played at the park, walked downtown, enjoyed different restaurants, and did just a little shopping.

Sydni's 1st beer... root beer!

The river through town

Sydni said, "I've been waiting my whole life to ride a horse!"

Mom said, "Are we done yet? I need the hot tub!"

Beautiful wildflowers are everywhere!

An old abandoned mine site/town we found on one of our drives.

The condo where we stayed had a beautiful view with a nice deck and hot tub... which we also enjoyed very much!!!

The most important part was that we were able to refocus on the Lord and the work He has for us. We had lost some of our passion as we got overwhelmed with work and with all the things that have taken place over the last year or so. God is gracious and SO good!
