Amelia Rocks Allenspark

We have been continuing Amelia's first year tour of the US and our latest trip took us to Allenspark, Colorado. Growing up my family spent at least two weeks at the cabin every August. So many wonderful memories from the Evans family have taken place in and around the cabin. Joining us at the cabin were Auntie M, Papa and Amelia's Great-Great Uncle James and Great-Great Aunt Vivian. Amelia loved her first trip to the mountains and is ready to go back during ski season! Here are some highlights including, get excited, a VIDEO!:

Amelia read the Sunday Times cover to cover. Her favorite part was the mattress ads.

Helping dad with his mountain golf game. And yes, he is aiming for the tree. We have to get a little creative with golf "holes" in the mountains.

Playing a round of cards.
A true mountain girl in her fleece and crusty nose. Of course her friend Mindy made sure she would be a stylish babe in her Patagonia!

Amelia - the spoon is for stirring not eating.
We decided that a small mountain town's 4th of July parade is a great way to spend a holiday.
3 generations of Cheney's have been born in Chicago. Amelia's Great-Great Uncle James Cheney was born at Cook County Hospital in the 20's, Papa (David Cheney) was born in the Pulman neighborhood in the 40's and Amelia at Prentice in the 00's!

and give it up for Kansas and the ladies born there!
oh yeah, and for the guy born in Illinois. Mark and I just celebrated our 2nd anniversary but the real congratulations go to James & Vivian on 62 years of making each other laugh. Amelia isn't fortunate enough to have Great Grandparents but she is blessed to have James & Vivian.That's right, Amelia's onesie says "My Aunt is Crazy."

and finally Amelia enjoyed the mountain breeze blowing through her couple of hairs.
