I hiked above Bridal Veil falls, into a hail and rainstorm with Ted, Fletcher, Tricia, Gavin, Jodi, Rich, Paul and Lauren.
The D'Arms went bicycling. Some other people did bungie-trampolining at Mountain Village. Sam and John Henry played disc golf. That night, we did the pinata and a Geeblet talent show.

 |
| weather looked great on the way up... |
 |
| great views in all directions |
 |
| the wildflowers were spectacular |
 |
| we saw many runners on coming down the trail, on their first leg of a 100-mile race |
 |
| Ted and Jodi reach the saddle |
 |
| it started hailing in the saddle. Some people had rain gear, some did not |
 |
| the hail - it hurt a bit when it hit my arms |
 |
| hail on the ground |
 |
| Lauren was looking forward to that jelly donut for a long time - she was a great sport throughout the hike, even in the hail and torrential downpour |
 |
| looking up the Telluride valley as the storm was clearing - from the road where it closed, above Bridal Veil Falls |
 |
| Rich, Jodi and Ted returning from their extended trip. The rest of us waited, huddling in Paul's SUV, blasting the heat. |
 |
| Looking up at the falls during the drive back down |
 |
| Telluride right after the rain - those clouds are resting in the area we hiked through |
The brown paper bag and tape pinata was the toughest one yet. But the garage had to be our least scenic location for this event...
 |
| Mia takes a whack - wearing her new cowboy hat |
 |
| Lauren swings like a real baseball slugger |
 |
| Josh got in a satisfying blow in the non-blindfold round |
Talent show time! Shout out to CC for organizing this at the last minute...
Katrina: Heavy Lifting
 |
| eventually Katrina lifted Justin, then Ted |
Lily and CC: Who's on First - this was brilliant, alas the movie came out very dark.
Helen, Mia, Ashley and Lauren: Jingle Bells - here's a 12 second snippet
Katrina, Josh and Akivia: Dennis the Constitutional Peasant
Sam and Josh: Losing my Religion, plus backup dancing - yes, the whole thing
