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.
