Spring Break

Even though I know longer
have kids attending school,
and don't live according to the school calendar anymore,
I still love the thought of a "spring break".

My daughter, who is an elementary teacher,
still knows the need to get away just for a few days
to refresh the spirit.

So along with her family

 and
 
 Running Man and myself

 have been enjoying the snow softly falling
at the YMCA Camp of the Rockies
located in beautiful 
Estes Park, Colorado.

We've rested,

relaxed,

watched for animals,

even touched a few,

gazed into the fire
and reflected on life
and the importance of family

while toasting a few marshmallows
to keep our energy level up.

When it was time to return home
we all knew
it had been a lovely "spring break".

 
 Until Next Time-

  2. Such sweet images - time spent with family is always to be savored. Snowflakes or spring flowers - whatever the day brings and if there are marshmallows involved it will be good!

  3. Looks like such a nice, gentle time with family (too bad "Spring Break" included snow). Time well spent!

  5. Too bad there wasn't more 'spring' in your break, but it sounds lovely regardless.

  8. Looks like a lovely family break, no schedule to keep and nothing "important" you have to do! Hope the weather fines up soon.

  10. I am totally jealous! Estes Park is one of our very favorite places to go - we usually go in mid September and stay a couple of weeks in our camper. Last year we had to cancel our trip because of the flood. How is the recovery coming in that area? blessings, marlene
