Winter Park '09

So about a year ago, we were at a play group and the idea was thrown around about renting a big house and all of us staying up there for the weekend. Lindsay got serious and had Emily (our resident deal-maker) research and found this AMAZING, 5 bedroom, 5 bathroom house near Winter Park, CO. So for Memorial Day weekend this year we went to (Bria quote)"The Big House."

We went the center of Winter Park for a picnic lunch and some playground time for the kiddos. Bria called this "The Winter Park." It wasn't a town to her, it was this particular park. She LOVED playing with all of her friends!

The weather didn't really want to cooperate with us as the day went on. We ate quickly before we blew away and we headed back to The Big House.

What better way to celebrate my 30th birthday (I celebrate all month long...) then a big dinner with everyone who came!

The resturant had this sign and I had to get my hippie-pilgram-friend, Emily by it!!The view on the ride back to the big house, are you kidding me?

What a way to celebrate!!

Dishing out the yummy cake!

Seriously, how cute are these kids!!

After the movies, the kids when to bed and the parents stayed up to play!

Later, we watched the Lakers' game in the sweet man cave!

Bria loved waking up to a pancake breakfast and all of her friends to share it with!

We had so much fun being with everyone, we want to make this a tradition!! We are truly blessed with so many great friends.
