The Rumohr Cottage

Luke's parents own an amazing cottage in Buena Vista, CO and we had the privilege of joining Luke and Lindsay and his parents there for a very relaxing weekend. Luke and Lindsay had just finished a 5-day backpacking trip with Young Life and spent a couple of days at the cottage before heading off to Idaho to see Lindsay's family. We transfered control of Charles the Dog back to the Rumohrs after hanging out with him that week.


We had been to the cottage several times before during ski season but this was our first visit in the summertime. The picture below is the view of Mt. Princeton from the back deck of the cottage - just breathtaking. One of these days we are going to hike to the top...maybe next year.


Luke apparently likes to grill with his shirt off. It was a delicious meal and Luke and I ate way too many chicken wings and brats while the ladies mostly ate more sensible things like artichokes.


After eating way too much food Luke thought it would be a good idea for us to go to the pool at Frontier Ranch Young Life camp and go down the slide. Frontier Ranch is a very cool place. Becky and I had been there several times before with the middle school students from our church for winter camp. Again, it was nice to be there in the summer when you actually want to get in the pool and the slide is on.

Here's a nice pictures of Becky sunbathing by the pool after the sun went behind the clouds.


We are always very grateful to the Rumohrs for opening up their cottage to us and making us feel at home. We hope to have the chance to go again sometime soon.
