Kiawah Island, SC

It only took four years, but we finally took a family vacation! We spent a week in Kiawah enjoying the beach, resort pool & eating at the Ryder cup bar...the view was picturesque. We also collected sea shells, went on a boat ride where we saw dolphins & spent a day in Charleston. I tried my first fried green tomato @ Magnolia's & took a carriage ride through downtown. We cannot wait to go back!

Vail Dance Festival

My dad & I started a new tradition last year...Vail Dance Festival. Every summer they invite artists from around the US to perform in the Ford amphitheater. Their season typically caters to ballet lovers but there are a couple nights where you are able to watch a mix of genres. Last year was good, but this year was AMAZING. Misty Copeland & Tiler Peck performed along with Mark Morris, PNW Ballet, Boston Ballet & Hubbard Street. Tiler Peck was the shinning star of the night! Her technique & artistry blew me away. 

We took the whole family up to Vail this year.  My parents ended up in a room that looked like something out of Rosanne's era (wood paneling, duck pictures & minimal light). It suited its purpose but definitely provided some good laughs. K had fun playing at the pirate park, riding the gondola, & swimming in the pool. All in all it was a nice mountain getaway:)

Family Birthday Celebration

We hosted the annual Summer birthday celebration this year. We set up a water slide in the backyard & stuffed ourselves with pizza & cake. I tried to capture a couple pics before hand but Kylie was NOT having it. She ended up in timeout for having an attitude with her grandparents.
