good times on the coast

loafer invasion

Camp Chaos was headquarters to a Sugarloaf invasion these last few weeks. Here's a few highlights from the trip. We spent some serious time skiing, tubbing and catching up. Chaos was excited to see his old friends again.

lobstah night

Big Dave is also know as clammah dave and his family has the Clam Hunter just outside of Bath, Maine. They developed a system for cleaning clams to make them less gritty. I've been told all of this as I am not a seafood lover.... in fact that's why they kicked me out of Maine...



His family sent him a dozen lobsters and a ton of clams and he had the crew over for a lobster bake. Dave's new diggs also include a large hot tub so we were also able to sit in boiling water and ease the holidaze to a close. We even had Tomas help us cook- he's quite the lobster chef!

rainy day adventures....

um.... guys... i think it's gonna rain again...

I'm not sure why chaos was so concerned about it raining since he spent much of his time Saturday in the lake. Meg and Sam came to town and we escaped our house and headed up to Alta Lakes. It was a rainy afternoon and we set up our sunshade(ok.... rainshade), had a small fire and enjoyed a day by the lake with the three goldens.

we had started the day out right with a good breakfast of gluten free pancakes and finished with a visit to Fat Alley BBQ. Oh yeah... there's a small festival going on but for once we skipped it all! All four of us just needed a chill day watching some cave man tv (aka the campfire) and letting the monsters swim... Chaos spent most of the day yesterday recovering on the couch from all the fun!

#803 and another Kate

We've had a few busy weeks here... as previous post had mentioned I had a lot going on at work and with the festivals. Plus we moved this last weekend. Our goal was to clear out the mess before my college friend, Kate, came into town from New Hampshire.

When Kate pulled into town Saturday night we had a functional living space, plates in their places and could relax a bit. Our new address is the same as the old but is now #803 instead of our old #501.

So we got to show off the town again and did some of our favorite spots, dinner at Excelsior and Fat Alley, hikes to Bear Creek and a sketchy drive to Bridal Veil Falls.

Next up is a busy fourth of July weekend then vacation will finally hit! We're flying into Boston on Wednesday and back to Colorado on Tuesday. It's a short trip and we don't even have time to head up to Sugarloaf. Chaos will be staying with Budo and is excited to have some quality time with his friend.

hikes and taxes

we've finally completed our 2007 returns and are questioning why the IRS doesn't consider Chaos to be a dependent. He seems pretty dependent on us to provide food, water, potty time and fun stuff...

...like hiking and skiing. He went out Friday, Saturday and Sunday and is one exhausted pup!
