We are home from our 1 1/2 weeks in the mountains of Colorado....where the highest temp was 78. We get home and it is 108! Where did we go wrong? Coming south instead of staying put for another,,,,,month or two.
We had a great time and about 48 family members arrived in shifts. I enjoyed the scenery and the peace and quiet. Also, visiting with relatives I have not seen some in 3 years. My, how the children have grown.
I did get to read two complete books, and we only had kitchen duty one day, thus I did not have to clean up after anyone for MANY days, of course everyone does pitch in to help the cooking team when possible.
The food was like eating at a 5-star restaurant every day. The altitude was a kicker and I never fully got into that. Loved seeing the wildlife wandering by, but not the howling cyotes at 2am. Finally they left us in peace.
The girls were on the go including Zip line, white water rafting, shopping, archery, shopping, go carting, shopping, some crazy trampoline thing w/ ropes around your waist, shopping, bumper cars, huge slide, and shopping.
We did do the drive over the mountains and back. Always breath taking.
One sad thing is, as you all know there have been some terrible fires up that way, and we saw two very close while we were there. Even got a too close up view of the helicopters carying the water.
We played kickball, volleyball, teatherball, badmidten. washers, and horse shoes. Also cleaned up at Bingo.
Sara made me 5 beautiful pairs of earrings and one matching necklace at the craft shop.
Basically, I would love to do this every year, as long as I am out of there before the cold weather.
