Evie takes on Telluride!

Dad made his annual trip to work at the Telluride Film Festival and this year Evie, Mom, Ba and Opa joined him. One of the most fun parts of Telluride is taking the gondola up to Mountain Village. "Oh, man!" Evie would say in her impersonation of Swiper the Fox.


Evie is less concerned about waving for the picture and more concerned about riding on the gondola at an elevation of 9500 feet.

Evie wasn't quite feeling well the first day or two at Telluride, so her baby kept her company (as did Ba and Opa).
As soon as they got on solid ground again at Mountain Village, they found an old-fashioned telephone booth. Evie loved making as many calls as possible.

After the telephone booth, Mom and Evie needed to make a decision -- which way to go? Hmmm... maybe the Chuck Jones' Cinema?

Evie made it to the CJC and was ready to see a bunch of movies.

But first she needed to say hi to the CJC mascot: Michigan J. Frog. She gave him a high five.

After a trip around the movie theatre, it was time to go back to Telluride. Evie keeps her eye out for the ice cream parlor as they descend back into town.

Again, again! When Daddy gets a free second the next day, the family takes another quick ride on the gondola. Now, keep your eyes out for any bears, Evie! Overall, the family had a lovely couple of days in sunny Telluride and even caught a movie here and there.
