An Interim Visit

The Hastings have packed up and departed Virginia and are on their way to Reno, Nevada. Rob flew to Arizona for a conference and Anna and the kids flew here for an interim visit while they await the arrival of their car and Rob's return; both will arrive on Saturday.

Everyone was very excited to see Ollie's new dog, Coaster and Meg's rabbit, Bun Bun. There has been lots of cousin-together time, in spite of school. On Wednesday school was out early and all the cousins went to Sundance in hopes of riding the chairlift. Unfortunately, the summer season finished last Sunday, so we made our own fun with a short hike to the Theater of the Pines. The kids had a great time playing on the stage and reenacted Hamlet or the like. I assumed it was Hamlet because everyone died. The outing ended with suckers from the Sundance store.

Timp put on a special show for Anna

Ollie's beagle, Coaster

Bun Bun and the boys (sounds like a band)

Coaster and the Cousins (another band?)

It's UEA, school is out, and there is an outing in the offing today. We will report later.

That's all for now.

Fun times -- and the mountains are beautiful!

I know we were JUST there, but, I am having FOMO bad! Do Bun Bun and Coaster get along? Sad that they missed the lift rides!

That looks so fun. I'm in love with the mountains and Sundance and especially Timp. And my FOMO is in full-bloom.

So far so good!
