Our winter summer vacation

I am updating you all from Frisco, Colorado! We will be out here for the next week hiking, sailing, and just enjoying the beautiful outdoors. I have come with Andy and his family the past four years, and Andy has been coming out here for about the past 20 years! I say that because we thought we knew what to expect...cool nights, perfect sunny days in the low 70's. You can imagine our surprise when we heard that they were making big trucks put on their chains because of the SNOW...in August! My first thought was that I only brought one pair of jeans, but I did like that I had an excuse to wear my vest:) Andy was REALLY excited to see the snow and I was totally bummed that we were missing out on summer in Colorado. I am glad it did not last long!
Luckily the snow on the ground is now non existent except for up on the peaks and we actually had pretty decent weather today. We drove over to Glenwood Springs and did the Hanging Lake Hike. At the top in the most beautiful crystal clear aqua water and water fall. You could even see schools of trout swimming around. We were going to go to the sulfur springs afterwards, but it was very crowded and stinky so we decided we'd soak in the hot tubs back at the condo instead. I am glad it was back to sunny more summer-like weather today!
