We had a trip to Colorado this week with the whole family except Jess. It was bitter sweet without him and there was a large hole that was very noticeable. We had a good time though all the same. Megan and Mica and the kids left Iowa and the rest of us left from Soda and met Friday night in Fairplay Colorado. We stayed in a cabin that sat right on the top of a mountain and was just breathtaking. It snowed almost everyday we were there but it was fun to just sit and watch it and know we didn't have anywhere to go. We played games and told funny stories and ate until we were sick, it was great. We played with the grandkids and watched our kids parent them. We stayed up way to late and got up way to early and had naps mid morning if we wanted. I don't think we have been that relaxed in a long time and it felt good. We spoiled the grandkids and then let their parents deal with the aftermath, which by the way, wasn't all that bad. We found new games and watched a lot of HDTV and movies. We remembered lots of stories from childhood, some memories were better than others, and laughed until our sides hurt. The sons and daughter-in-law probably wondered what they had married into but laughed nontheless. It was a great relaxing time for all and we are already planning for next year when Jess can laugh right along with us and add his stories to ours. Here are a few pictures to document our good time:
