Taos Ski Valley Day!

The Taos ski valley was busy today for Community Day! Mike and Roxanne are visiting from Louisiana and we went up to soak in the beauty of the mountains in the summertime. Dylan and Robert made it to the top of Wheeler Peak, the highest peak in New Mexico. The only pictures they took were of their signature in the summit book and the beautiful scenery. Edited to add a couple more pictures of Dylan and Robert’s hike that he just shared with me. They said the lack of oxygen at the high altitude was difficult and they had to take little breaks.

 

Morning walks and Evening Skies

 

Birthday and Father’s Day Weekend!

Saturday was Dylan’s 19th birthday! He’s home with a year of college under his belt! He worked on his birthday and went to dinner with his friends and we saved the family celebration for today since Hannah would be here. 

 

A Visit From Mason!

That’s a Wrap on Freshman Year at Barrett/ASU!

I flew out to Tempe early in the morning, helped Dylan load up the car, had our last lunch in the Barrett dining hall (which he is sick of but I still think is fun), and drove home! There was not a spare inch left in the car, but we fit almost everything other than the things he is leaving at a friend’s house. The only casualty was the twin extra long mattress topper. Freshman year flew by—I feel like we just moved him in. I’m so happy to hear that he loves it there and had a great first year college experience, made so many friends, did well in classes, and looks forward to going back. 

Looks like a lot of people could not fit them in the car to drive home!

 

Tempe Hike

Dylan went hiking with friends in Tempe as this school year winds down for summer break.
