Last week Steven got a contract for a pool in Crested Butte. Crested Butte is like 3 hours from our house, but if you take the mountain roads it's only like 2 and a half. ;) He had been gone hunting in Montana the week before and wanted us all to come with him to make a site visit. I was a little unsure, but was persuaded by the fact that my children all wanted to go! Things like this tend to remind me of when we started our business and I would tag along with Marin and try to find something to do while Steven was working. I am not a fan of those first few years of starting your own business so I actually hate doing things like this. But I was planning on the trees being beautiful and some time with Steve so I sucked it up and went.
It was beautiful. I cannot believe that the road we took takes you anywhere, let alone drops down into a beautiful valley with mega million dollar homes. Where he is building his next project is a beautiful 1,600 arch ranch. I know it would be hard, especially considering it's like a fourth or fifth home. Nonetheless, we dropped him off and headed to the main part of Crested Bute where we found a Subway and an amazing park for the kids to play at. I was so happy that I had brought my camera AND the matching sweaters I had bought the kids to eventually take some cute pictures. This was how we spent our hour of dinking around in Crested Butte!
On the way home we decided to get out and let the kids play in the snow on that lonely muddy road. After getting everyone out of the car, the truck began to ding which is a delayed locking system. Steven made a run for the car, but it was too late the keys were locked inside. After a few minutes of arguing about "who done it" we realized that was not at all going to help the situation. Realizing there was no way of getting help we then began a 10 min conversation about what window would be the cheapest to replace. We decided on the front passenger window which took more then several good wackes with a hammer to brake. There wasn't much else we could do, but for future reference the front side passenger window was indeed the cheapest to replace!

what cute pictures. the locked keys is just a great additive to a fun trip! I do the same with Shane, dragging my feet on a work project but if that is how you have to be together so be it! Ben is sooooo big, I think it is time for another. ha ha
I loved those spinning things as a kid! I haven't seen one in years. They took them out of all the playgrounds here. It looks like you had fun, broken window and all. Plus, it wouldn't have been as interesting of a story with out that part. It is those things you look back on and laugh about.
What a great trip! Until the end of course :) Good thing you picked the right window!
That sucks about your window! I thought cars were supposed to prevent you from locking the keys in these days. I've only done that once and I had groceries in the car. Sucks bigtime.
That's a funny pict of the merry-go-round and ben hanging on. Funny story about whacking your window with a hammer, that stinks though. Cute picts.
O.K. Call me missy! I love the pics Ash and I am glad it was worth the tag along!
