Emma has the rare privilege to celebrate a second “golden” birthday this day; the first one having been last year when she turned seven on the 7th (of June). This year, being in the actual town of Golden, would seem to qualify as well. Accordingly, Dad took Emma and Gordon to the top of the mountain in a ski lift/ gondola and were able to spot the snow covered peaks of six different Canadian National Parks.
Cedar Lake was
also very close by and is a fun and beautiful local swimming hole that Emma and
the rest of us greatly enjoyed. Getting
back to the Air B-n-B, Emma’s primary request was that all of us pack into the
hot tub, which, of course, we were very happy to do after enjoying the birthday
meal and cupcakes for which Carley made a chocolate ganache topping. Some game playing and opening of presents and
not driving anywhere very far away made for a great and relaxing day.
To celebrate Emma’s birthday on our trip is really very
appropriate, because she is one of the big reasons we decided to venture forth
in another vintage motorhome. She was
not even two when we took our last big adventure, so we wanted her and Gordon
especially to have memories of their own.
As she was falling asleep tonight she told us that this was
her best birthday ever.
