Granby

My sister Jackie has graciously offered dozens of times for us to come up and visit and get the cousins together and to spend some time with each other.  The hard part is that with full time sports on our end and lots of visitors on theirs, the schedules have been difficult to align though it's probably more constraint on our side.  Anyways, we finally pulled the trigger (somewhat last minute) and headed up to their house up in Granby just after lunch time.  It's a beautiful house that's right on a golf course and of course has this amazing pool center for the community.  What a great way to beat the 95 degree heat down in front range!  We quickly met at the pool and cousins jumped right into the water.

There was some chicken fighting going on with each of them taking some turns on the top and the bottom.  We only almost drowned a few times but I think everyone had fun!

I think for this round, Gavin and Sara emerged victorious in the picture above.  It's hard to see in these pictures but there are some pretty crazy fires burning in the mountains surrounding their valley.  Thankfully there house isn't in any danger and the smoke wasn't too bad this day.  After several hours of pool time, we headed back their house to hang out for a bit and decided to drive home later in the evening when we would normally be sleeping anyways to beat the traffic.  The guys slept most of the way down but had such a great time.  I wish we weren't quite so far away from Granby and could make this happen more often, but I am thankful for the time we did have.
