The Ewing Family Visit

After the Rancourts came the Ewings...

We also went to the top of Mt CB.

(lifts are good for parents - though the lifts don't go ALL the way to the top).
We hiked up to Long Lake - and decided not to go swimming after seeing the leaches... the rope swing is definitely tempting though.

We played softball (I forgot to mention that The Rancourts actually played with us too!)
We went horseback riding up to Rustler's Gulch - which was gorgeous!
We watched the chainless bike race which involves riding (coasting) a chainless townie from the top of Kebler pass all the way down into downtown CB. (that's the town mayor in the America costume)
Dad and I went fishing - and he caught tons of fish!

Liz and I then raced for the EMS team in the 24 hour townie race - which was fun. We got dressed up Crested Butte style and rode for 2 hours of the 24 hour race - we had a team of almost 24 from the Fire/EMS Department. Here are all of the 108 townies after the race parked out in front of the brick oven for the after party.

Liz won the raffle at the end for all the race participants and she got this sweet new bike:
Everyone finally left on Sunday morning... after which Liz and I went fishing and caught TONS of FISH and then went to bed early to catch up on some MUCH NEEDED rest after 3 long weeks of visits...

And the Poppies bloomed.


Thanks to both the Ewings and the Rancourts for many many fine fine meals and for a great time!! We love you all!!
