Wednesday

 Well, Q's surgery is at the crack of dawn tomorrow, so yesterday we decided to soak up as much sun and fresh air and wilderness as we could in preparation for a few weeks of lockdown.
 We headed up to St. Mary's glacier on an unusually hot August day to escape the Denver heat.

 Mike decided to toss poor Frank in the chilly glacial runoff.

 There's  nothing quite as delicious as being high in the mountains on a hot summer's day.



 Snowboarders descending from the glacier.
 Q collecting wildflowers.




 Topping out at the glacial lake.

 It takes a strong man to drink from a pink canteen.


 Tossing balls for Mathilda, who doesn't mind braving the icy water.






 Q doing a little meditation in the shade ;)

So pretty. No, there's nothing like the high country on a hot day! I've not been to St. Mary's yet.
I hope tomorrow goes so well. I'll be thinking of you.

You guys are way better parents than I at chronicling the nice life moments than I am. I am almost always in the clouds or my head and I never remember the camera!

All my best with the surgery for the three of you. Is this her last I hope?
