Blake and Allison: Breckenridge Summer Vacation

We spent the 4th of July week in Breckenridge, Colorado with my family. It was a great vacation!

My cousin, Caroline (whom we named our little Caroline after) got married and it was a family reunion of sorts with all my Aunts, Uncles and [almost all] cousins on my Mother's side. It was a wonderful week, a beautiful wedding and really wonderful time with my family. The only bad part was that it ended and we had to all go home.

Caroline and Ellie were troopers the whole week. They stayed up late and woke up early every morning. They were great meeting all the family and let just about everyone hold them.

The town of Breckenridge was so charming and we spent a lot of time walking around the town with the girls. We left our big double stroller at home and just used 2 umbrella strollers for the girls, and they LOVED being wheeled around in those!

There was a really cute 4th of July parade down the main street of Breckenridge. It was sunny, warm (but not hot), dry, and just about a perfect summer day. It was packed. The girls napped in their strollers/Baby Bjorns and enjoyed all the chaos going on around them.

The hats were a life saver. Poor Caroline got sunburned on her face the first day we were there due to the sun streaming in through the car window while we were on a drive.

We were limited on what we could do with the girls, but we did manage to go on a nice hike one day and Blake was able to go mountain biking with my family, which was a highlight for him.

The wedding was so nice and a great time spent with my Mom's whole family. The setting couldn't have been prettier.
