Tip-toe through the Daisies

Dizzy and Nutty in the Garden - Ahhh, just had to share it.

To the top of Vail Mountain

Having been here a month we thought we ought to take a trip up to the top of our Mountain and see what all the fuss is about. Click here to see

Trip to Steamboat Springs

Towards the Wyoming boarder and about 80 miles north is a place called Steamboat Springs, famous for hot springs (one which sounds like a steamboat hence the name), and also famous for it's champagne powder snow - out of season the town isn't that interesting but the drive there and back was lovely - we forgot to take many photos except when we stopped in the woods for a walk down to the creek to cool off and we made an amazing discovery........

Road trip to Aspen

On another unbelievably hot day (91 degrees) we decided to head for the highest point we could find where it might be cooler - Up to Independence Pass and over the other side to Aspen. A very beautiful drive and the pass is only open for about three months each year, so we're really happy that we had the chance to get up there. The photos don't really do it justice but take a look anyway. Click here

Hot Summer Nights

... sponsored by Bud Light.

This is a fabulous Vail Summer tradition, every Tuesday evening there is a 'free' concert in the Gerald Ford Amphitheatre which is part covered and part outside. The accoustics are fab and the setting gorgeous, surrounded by mountains and pine trees.

Gavin called me from his bicycle to say people were arriving for something so get down here quickly, which I did. We had no idea what was showing and it turned out to be 'The Wailers' as in Bob Marley fame. They have a new lead and were utterly brilliant and we had a fantastic evening sitting on the grass drinking Margharitas listening to Reggae. We'll definitely be back but this week it is a famous Country and/or Western singer (not sure of the difference - if anyone can explain it would be much appreciated).

Anyway as usual click here for some pics!

Beaver Creek Rodeo

Thursday night is Rodeo Night at Beaver Creek, we didn't manage to get any pics of the "Mutton Bustin" or the bareback riding, but plenty of barrel racing - I've certainly picked up a few tips for getting Hugo round the jump off a bit quicker!

Lake Dillon

Very boring for dogs is going shopping in Dillon where there are factory shops galore and lots of very cheap clothes for the humans, the only consolation for Nutty and I is that we get to stop at Lake Dillon on the way home which is fantastic for swimming - here are a few pics of us chasing sticks.

 
 
 
 

This last picture is me refusing to come out of the water when it was time to go home!
