What do you get when you cram 35 people (including 17 kids) into a 6 bedroom, 4,000 square foot lodge for four days? Tons of fun, lots of memories...and the stomach virus. We stayed in the Rocky Mountain Lodge in Cascade, Colorado. It was a beautiful location and the lodge was very rustic and cozy, the perfect location for a family reunion. We planned a couple of day trips to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo and Garden of the Gods, but for the most part we spent our days at the lodge playing games and catching up with the family. We had a great time and can't wait to get the whole family together again.
I was sharing a camera with Scott and Carrie because our camera was still in the shop (we have it now though) and so I didn't get to document the trip the way I wanted to. For more pictures of the family, go to the McMurdie blog.
Oh, and scroll down to the next post to see Carter's first bath!
We shared a 12 passenger van with Scott and Carrie and their kids. Never a dull moment in that van!
Abby would stay awake in the car as long as possible and then crash hard. Traveling with kids isn't easy, but moments like this make it worth it.
Carter, on the other hand, had no trouble sleeping. He's the perfect traveling companion.
Abby is always hesitant to try new things, including feeding the giraffes and riding the carousel.
Abby (and Brian and Scott) were the first ones to get the virus. Abby spent the next morning hunched over like this. Poor baby!
This is a picture of the family devotional we had on Sunday. It was a wonderful experience! What an awesome family Brian has!

Wow, it looks like it was a wonderful family reunion minus the stomach virus. I love staying in cabins. I hope you have recovered from the trip.
My aunt lives in Co. Springs so we have been to Garden of the Gods and done a lot up there on family vacations. It is BEAUTIFUL!!!!! Glad everything went so well with 2 little ones in tow!
