Rosen Pagosa Recap

We had the Rosen family reunion at Pagosa this year! 

The crew that came was Mom & Dad, Dave & Steph (Ings and Huck), Bubs, Grandma Furner, and Marty & I (Emi).

We got to Pagosa late Wednesday night, and then headed home on Sunday morning. Unfortunately there was a bit of sickness going around, but other than that everyone seemed to have a good time! (In hindsight I also was maybe too up tight because I just wanted everything to go smoothly and also take good care of Pagosa... but you live and learn!)

Here is our family reunion by pictures...

Waterfall Hike





4 Wheeling around Camp.

Ranger ride

Mom taking Grandma Furner for a ride on the 4 wheeler. We loved having grandma with us!


Cousin bath time.

Pinata time!

Steph's doing a pinata for her first time.

Marty was the one to get the candy out of the pinata. He had a killer swing.

Huck and Grandpa.

Hiking into the box.



Emi and Ings both did some climbing.

Rock climbing. Peep Marty at the top!


I didn't make it very far...but it was still exciting!


I think this picture of Ings is so cute!

Ice cream at the General Store. 

Notice the bandaid on Emi's head. We were putting her in the hiking back pack at the Box (on the ground), and weren't paying attention for a minute and the whole backpack tipped over and her head crashed into the ground. Poor girl! 

Lake Day! William's Reservoir was so beautiful. It felt "Pinterest worthy."

Grandma helping with Huck.

Emi and Aunt Bubs.

Marty taking Grandma Furner for a canoe ride.

Grandpa taking Ingi for a canoe ride.

Grandma Furner entertaining Emi. She was so sweet with all the kids the whole trip, never complained about anything (even when she sat in the back seat of the van for 8+ hours on our way to Pagosa, and was so kind and helpful). Grandma's the best!

Everyone loved Pagosa so much. Thank you Shaeffer's for letting me share this special place with my family!

    I am so happy your family had a good time at Pagosa and hope you have many more future trips there together! Ha ha! Laughing about being uptight because thats how I felt when my family visited Pagosa for the first time when Dan and I were first married!

Nick's Fish House

We went to the breakfast buffet at the Fairmont in the morning. My favorite part is loading my plate with all the yummy fruit they have. (Papaya and Hawaii just go together.) Emi loves clenching her fists and making a funny, strained face. haha. We took a walk down to the beach before heading to Twin Falls. It was pouring rain when we got out of the car at the start of the hike, and I wondered what the rest of the hike was going to look like, but it ended clearing up at just the right times. I love how Emi has curls in Hawaii. On our way back we stopped at some food trucks and came back to relax before dinner time. For dinner we went to Nick's Fish House. This place is special to Marty and I because it's where we got engaged (and their Macadamia Nut brownies are top notch which adds to the special-ness). In the evening we went back to our hotel room and watched an episode of "The Floor" before heading to bed.

Last day in Paris

We scheduled a tour for St. Chapelle, Conciergerie, and the outside of the Notre Dame for this morning. I mostly just wanted to see St. Chapelle, but because we've been so busy seeing other things, when I went to get tickets on their website they were sold out. Luckily I found a tour through "Get Your Guide" that we could do that would take us through the chapel this morning. Marty and I arrived for our tour this morning and started making our way to St. Chapelle as a tour group when we found out that the employees of St. Chapelle were on strike so nobody would be seeing St. Chapelle for the day. It was a bummer, but strikes are very common in Paris. Really we just lucked out getting to experience an important part of their culture ;) With our tour canceled, we made our way to Sacre Coeur and Montmartre. The basilica reminded me a lot of the pretty churches in Jerusalem. The one thing Marty and I found odd was that there were signs all over inside the chapel asking guests

Marty! Lizzie!

Emi and I went to Chuze in the morning and then went to the park after with friends! Ronny, Jules, Evi, Isla, and Emi (of course!). We tried out a new park, Spearwood, and the kids liked it. Emi and I stayed a bit longer after everyone left and she made a new friend. It was this cute Chinese boy whose name sounded kind of like "Ethan." Anyway, his mom was doing the sort of thing all moms do at the park--cheering on their child as they try to climb up a ladder or try something new--but in Chinese. She was doing this, and then the most interesting thing happened. Emi started imitating what the mom was saying. It was so cute! Even though there was a language barrier between the mom and I, she could also tell what Emi was trying to do. It's amazing what the brain can do--especially children's brains. They are like little sponges! Anyway, I just thought that was really cool. On another note... Emi's started calling Marty and I by our first names half of the time. Today
