Cousins Camp

A couple of weeks ago my dad and Jane hosted a cousins camp in Breckenridge for all of the grandkids who have graduated from Kindergarten. Madeleine counted down the days on our calender, she was so excited to be eligible for Cousins Camp. I was nervous about having her away from home, we haven't done much of that yet, but she did great and I believe cousins camp was everything she hoped for and more. The build-your-own sundae at Bubba Gumps, the alpine slide with "team Maddie" (Aunt Madi and Madeleine), filling in a family tree, and swimming were numbered among her most favorite things in the whole world. Hopefully I'll get some of the pictures to add to this post.

We ended cousins camp by joining them up in Breckenridge and spending a fondue-filled evening together. The fondue restaurant required two separate gondola rides, it is situated deep in the mountain range beyond Keystone, CO. Throughout the meal we were serenaded by accordian players, the kids tore up the dance floor, and toward the end the musicians got us to stand up and sing "Adel Weiss." I have been singing that song to my girls since they were babies, and standing there arm in arm with my parents and sisters was a special moment.

Thank you Dad and Jane!
