Dillon CO and getting stitches.

Dillon CO, isn't it beautiful.

I am finally updated my blog with our trip to Dillon CO. We left on Friday July 16, 2010 and we

got there later that day. My brother Tim and his family were also there and they traveled from

CA. It was so nice to see them, since we haven't seen them, since Christmas. My sister Amy and

her family were also there and they didn't have to travel to far, only about an hour. Saturday, all

of us spent sometime together in Keystone CO. We did some paddle boats and just were

together having some fun. Earlier that morning, I went on a bike ride and it was so beautiful, I

am so glad that I brought my bike. Sunday, we celebrated 2 of my nieces birthdays and that

was lots of fun. My sister and her family left Sunday evening to go back home. The rest of the

week, my family did various activities with my brother and his family or by ourselves. We went

to Breckenridge CO to do the Alpine Slide and a few other things up there and that was lots of

fun. We also did shopping, go to the park and most of us went swimming, except for Ethan who

couldn't, since he cut his finger 5 days before we left and he had to get 4 stitches for that, but his

finger is okay now. The day before we left, we decided to go somewhere that we have never

been before and that is Copper Mountain, which is about 10 miles from Dillon. It wasn't that

crowd either, so that was a plus. We did go karts, bumper boats, some shopping, and Ethan and

Connor did the bouncing trampoline. They have a few other things there, but we didn't do them.

The next time we go to Dillon, we are going back to Copper Mountain because we all loved it

there. We left for Cedar City on Friday July 23 and I guess it was good to be home, but I wished

we could of stayed longer. Dillon Co is one of my favorite vacation spots, well it is one of my only

vacation spots, unless you count going home to CA once a year a vacation spot, which I guess it

is. Enjoy the pictures.

I had to take this picture, since a Corvette is my favorite car. This is a 1963 Corvette.

These next pictures I took, while I went on a bike ride from

Dillon to Frisco and then back to Dillon. It was so beautiful.

In case anyone is wondering of how Ethan cut his finger, I guess I will tell you here. It was a

Sunday evening (why is it that he always seems to have to go to the ER on a Sunday) and he

wanted to fix his nerf gun for it to shoot faster and to do that he needed to take a part out ot the

nerf gun. He watched a video online to show him how to do it and it told him to get a box cutter

because it is sharper to cut things with. He asked for it and well Will and I let him and we should

of watched him, but he is 13 years old and we thought he would be okay, but he is still a

teenager. A few minutes later, he went into the bathroom bleeding and trying to stop the

bleeding, which it wasn't and we tried to stop the bleeding too, but of course it wasn't working. I

ended up taking Ethan to the ER and we were there for about 2 hours or it might of been longer

than that, I can't remember. He ended up getting 4 stitches in one of his fingers on his left hand.

Ethan now says he will never do that again, which is good because just for going to the ER and

getting stitches was expensive and our insurance only paid some of it. At least he didn't break a

bone because that would of costed more and that is what he did when he was in the 1st grade

and this was also on a Sunday. He jumped from a swing at a neighbor's house and landed on his

arm wrong and he ended up breaking his arm. That is another story.
