Update from the Dugans: Last weekend we had planned to go meet some friends in Breckenridge, but Sunny (you all might remember the great wrangling-dog) found some hunters camped out in Geneva Park. We could not get her down despite our attempts to walk up the switchbacks trail to find her. So, we decided we couldn’t leave in case she came home to an empty house. It turned out to be a good thing, as the entire family (Laney-7, Finn-4 and Miles- 5 months) had a goal to “summit” Flag Mountain! It has been something Laney has been working towards all summer. We packed backpacks with fruit snacks, apples and peanut butter sandwiches and took off. (Of course, Sunny came home right as we were leaving, so she was able to come with us). It took a little prodding and encouraging getting Finn to buy into the incredible views from the flag, but HE DID IT!!! He turned 5 this past Wednesday, so we made a big deal about the fact that he made the summit as a 4-year old. It has been a little lonely around here and some of us (Megan) have been feeling sorry for themselves, so it was a wonderful reminder of how lucky we are to live in such a beautiful spot and it couldn’t have been a more beautiful fall day. The snow is coming (in fact, it has already been here) so we are soaking up everyday of warm sun.
