Look Who Came to Visit!

In the unlikeliest infiltration since the Muppets took Manhattan, the Fares clan (Mom, Dad, Freddy) made the 2,000 mile journey out to Aspen to visit their baby girl and favorite son-in-law (sorry Dave), and our pupppy Maci, to whom they're fairly indifferent.

We kept the Fares family fairly busy (say that five times fast), going from dusk til dawn pretty much every day. We toured Independence Pass, hiked the Maroon Bells, shopped in downtown Aspen, and watched Freddy consume a truly remarkable amount of hamburgers.

We were having some camera difficulties, so perhaps when the Fareseses email us some additional pictures, we'll post them for your enjoyment. I can assure you, however, even without corroborating photographic evidence, that a good time was had by all, and the Fareseses have a new appreciation for the stunning beauty that is Aspen in spring.

We even took the time to celebrate Maci's four-month birthday. Freddy, who developed an unforseen bond with the puppy during the course of his stay, was particularly exuberant throughout the festivities.
