The year before Brandon left for Nepal, he and Eric entered the Cuchara 4th of July Parade. Their first entry was Brandon riding the 4-wheeler pulling Eric on ski's and dressed in 80's ski gear....all to draw attention to the fact that the resort at Cuchara has been closed and is being held "captive". After Brandon returned from Nepal last year, we all joined in the parade...Eric pulled Mali and I in a rescue sled joking that we ski-ed "Bare Bumps". Bear Bumps is a real run at the resort, but is obviously bare because they won't open the resort. This year, Brandon fixed up a snowmobile and pulled Eric. Mali got to ride with Uncle Brandon and throw candy.
We love celebrating the 4th of July in Cuchara and having our own special traditions. We spent a lot of time sitting outside at the cabin and enjoying the beautiful mountains. Mali had fun with all of Uncle Brandon's friends again this year. I've realized what a great blessing it is for her to be around great, older people that love Jesus too. She's a lucky girl, and they were really great to play with her and love on her.
