Norton/Cintel Colorado Visit 2012!

In March we had the Nortons and the Cintels out for a big family get together!! It was so much fun and we have so many new amazing memories from the trip.

To properly welcome the Nortons to Colorado we dialed up a whopper snow storm!!:) Luckily they were only delayed two hours from San Francisco! Once everyone got here the cousins were off and running (well except Reid, only for a little while longer):) Myles instantly found Cameron's supply of trains, trucks and cars irresistible. All the cousins turned the front room into a huge play area (super cute)! 


Myles and Ashley playing library! Ashley had made everyone library cards prior to everyone getting here (so cute)!

That first night was filled with Oregon basketball, dance parties and running around!!



The three amigos!:)


Watching Oregon with Uncle Jeff!

While the kids were running around, Reid watched the Ducks!!:)

The next day we decided to head up to the Denver Science and Nature Museum! This has always been a favorite of ours since we came to Denver! Chris was excited to revisit a great place from his childhood and show it to Myles and Reid!:)


Ashley and Cameron with a small friend!

George and Marilyn made it into to town on Tuesday with thankfully no snowstorm!:) Yay!!

Jeff decided to make a Strawberry pie(yummy). Let's just say there were no leftovers!!:) We all polished it off!

Chris, Jen and the boys headed up to Breckenridge to a cabin they had rented on Wednesday, the rest of us joined them on Friday! We had the best time up in the Rockies full of sledding, Oregon Ducks basketball, Easter and just an amazing time to hang out as a family!!!



Cameron and Reid, look at Reid looking at his big cousin:)
Cameron and Myles, or as Myles likes to call him "Crameron"! I think Cameron is really enjoying his role as the eldest cousin:)

Our first dinner at the cabin, so fun!

Yummy dinner!

When we were up at the cabin we got to celebrate Easter! The Easter bunny was right at home in the Rockies delivering some eggs! The kids had a blast running around the cabin making sure they found everyone. Hopefully the next guests didn't discover some leftovers!!:)

One of the most memorable parts of our weekend up in the Rockies was of us all sledding!! Just above the cabin there was a great sledding run on a couple of driveways! It was a great hill and everyone got to sled and have a blast, what a fun memory!!:)





Cameron has so much fun! I think he did the run 20 times:)
Myles and Chris:)
