Fun Times with Family

We had a great time with Colleen and Skip and we SO appreciate that they made the trip. It was really wonderful to have family in the house and I am thinking that their good vibes will carry us through the long winter. We met them last Saturday night in Denver at Wanda and Clarence McDavid’s house. We also had the pleasure of meeting Colleen and Skips friend’s Vicky and Charles that they first met in Omaha.  We all went out to dinner at “Ted’s”, as in Ted Turner, where we chose various bison selections from the menu and celebrated Colleen’s birthday.
On Sunday we had Rena, Nathan, Carsten, Grant and Robin and Ross over for bison burgers (what, bison again?) and celebrated Colleen’s birthday again!! 
Dennis had a small job on Monday and then he and Skip went mountain biking on a trail in Lyon’s behind Rena and Nathan’s house. Colleen cooked us a great dinner of roast chicken and veggies.
On Tuesday Dennis had two jobs so Skip drove me to work so he and Colleen could do some sight-seeing in Boulder, have lunch on Pearl Street and then visited Dennis at his second job.
On Wednesday, Dennis and Skip went on a mountain biking adventure at Buffalo Creek, a cool area about  2 hours south/west of Longmont. I took the afternoon off from work and Colleen and I did a short hike in Lyons and then visited a quilt shop in town before the boys got out of school. Rena and Nathan made us a fantasic dinner and then the ladies took the boys trick-or-treating while the guys handed out candy. The kid’s neighborhood was a blast and there were tons of kids out and lots of spooky houses to visit. Nathan bought 170 full size candy bars and handed them ALL out!!! 
Today was Colleen and Skips last day with us and Dennis drove them to Robin and Ross’s in the afternoon. They will hang out with them for a bit and then Robin will get them to the airport.
It will be very quiet in the house tonight. Thank you again for the great visit Colleen and Skip!!!
