Ashley fell in love with this little guy. Hallie brought birdseed just in case we saw some.

We were really missing Noah for this picture

Ashley saw cows run for the first time ever. These guys made quite a traffic jam.

Ben and Ashley arrived yesterday along with Danny. This is Ashley's first time to be here and Ben has never been here in the summer. Because they won't have much time to acclimate, we decided to take it easy on this trip and give them an idea of what CB has to offer in the summer. We rode the Silver Queen up to the top of the mountain which was really a neat thing for Ben since he has skied the mountain before. Ashley had never ridden a ski lift and was a little nervous but decided that she could really spend all day riding up and down if they would let her. After spending some time at the Overlook, we went home and packed a picnic lunch for a drive out to Washington Gulch. The view was spectacular and we watched a storm gather around the mountain but it didn't come our way. After lunch we drove down Gothic road to see a different valley view and then called it a day for touring. Ben and Ashley rode the bus into town to spend some time checking out the shops. It was a great day!
