Keystone

We had a really good time in Keystone. It was nice to get to be there with Justin, even though we didn't see a whole lot of him (a little is far better than none.) There were plenty of things to keep us occupied while we waited for Justin to get out of meetings. There was a lake (more like a big pond) in the middle of the resort we stayed at. It had fish in it that you could feed. Of course this food attracted ducks and geese as well. There were some pretty big trout in there. The girls loved this part of the trip and couldn't get enough of feeding the fish and ducks. Sydnee was brave and even touched the fish and let the geese eat right out of her hand. Charlee would hold the food out but drop it as soon as a goose was ready to take it. (If you click on the pics you can see the fish really well.)
Feeding frenzy...
Justee wanted to touch a duck or goose soooo bad. She kept trying to just walk right out into the water with them. I had a death grip on her wrist at all times.

Getting a close look...
A close-up of Charlee's t-ball injury.
There was a park next to the lake that the girls played at, and a cute little shop where Syd and Char got a bag of pretty rocks. They were very excited about those rocks.
When we had to stay couped up in the room because Justee was napping, we made necklaces and bracelets with some beads I brought. Sydnee even made a bracelet for "Daddy's Boss."


When Justin was finished with his meetings of Friday, we rented a paddle boat and went out onto the lake. The girls loved this too. They threw food over the side of the boat and we were surrounded by ducks and geese. Justee wanted in the water so badly that we finally went to shore because we were tired of wrestling her into the boat.

There was a family of geese at the lake. They were so cute and the girls were very excited every time we saw them. This might be a cheesy picture, but I absolutely love it! How sweet is this?

Here is a clip of the girls feeding the fish and then a clip of them dancing to some morning cartoons before we headed out for the day...

I don't think that the mama goose picture is cheesy... I may want a copy of it for a future mother and child painting :)
Looks like you guys had fun,
