memorial day!

this year we crammed as much activity into memorial day as we possibly could.

the weather was beyond beautiful, so we kicked it off with a motorcycle ride to estes park for some breakfast. well…. grant, chris, tylar + taylor did.

hilla, abel, arrow, widdle girl sal and myself brought up the rear in the yukon :)

breakfast at the "rams horn" was deeeeeeelish! 

[ fun fact: its actually called the big horn restaurant, but somehow over the course of however long my family has been going, we started calling it something completely different and it just stuck, so rams horn it is! ]

& man oh man, estes is beautiful. a little bittersweet because it was totally my dads place. he loved it so much. every time we went, although we had our staple foods to eat and shops to visit, was like he first time he had ever gone; constantly learning new things about the town & spouting off fun facts and trivia. but he was there with us this time too, asking me how my breakfast was 'sweetie' & patiently sitting on every bench.

after breakfast, we walked around the town for a bit & headed back down the mountain for a BBQ & some swingset fun with the fam.

i hope everyone enjoyed their memorial day celebrations as much as i did! here is to summer (almost!)
