Uncle Greg comes for a visit!

This past weekend we went to Silverton on Saturday night. Our good friend Greg and 3 of his buddies travelled from Michigan to hike for the week. They drove to our land in Silverton, left their car there, and we then took them to Vallecito Lake to the trail head. This is where they will begin their 45 mile hike back to Silverton. It will take them all week to do--they are starting out at 10000 feet elevation! They are also carrying 50# packs!!! CRAZY, especially since they are from sea level. Good Luck!! We got a chance to fish and hang out and camp. Here are some pics!

Weekend in Silverton

Getting ready to go for a hike!
Everyone arrived on Saturday and set up their tents.
Sofie really loved Uncle Greg.
Ryan cooking Sunday morning camping breakfast.
The McRyan, we would never eat this at home! But we do eat it when we camp. Bacon, sausage, egg, cheese, cream cheese all on a cheddar green chile bagel!

The side yard
There used to be an underground pool and cement patio covering that entire area. The pool was ruined because the previous owners didn't want to fix the leak so they filled it with dirt. Totally ruined it.

You can see the hot tub we put in on the right just after Sofie was born. Our bedroom has french doors that open up to the hot tub. It was an unusual birthing present. But I wanted something Ryan and I could both use--diamond earrings would have been cool too--hint hint.
Side walk going to the back of the house where the deck is, all of the spider infested bushes were removed the year before . Our house was built in the early 60's. It is an original Frank Lloyd Wright design and we still have the original plans.
