An Awsome Rocky Mtn Weekend

Man, this weekend was the best!!!

It's good to be on vacation, it's even better to be with family, it's fabulous to be away from the stress at work!!!

So today, was just, tremendous. It was very, VERY full and busy though and I've come away with a sunburn on my face and neck, but most definetly worth it!

The morning started off with an early round of golf at my favorite par 3 course here in Montrose. The really neat thing was my 7 year old nephew, Brian, hit closest to the hole off the 7th tee. That was cool.

After golf, we had brunch and then headed out to do some GeoCaching. We had a couple of false starts in finding the one we were looking for, but persisted because we wanted the kids to really, really like it. So eventually Brian and I found it and guided everyone else in. We traded a bunch of trinkets and then headed home for lunch.

After lunch we played on a slip in slide in the front yard, what a blast, but dang, they've got COLD water here! :) At home, it runs for a few minutes and it's lukewarm, here - it's like ice. Awesome!

When the kids were wore out we laid them down for naps, then Doreen, my sister, her hubby and my dad headed to Flat Top to ride their dirt bikes. Awesome. We hit all sorts of little jumps and bumps and dips, then we took a quickie ride around the Mountain. It had some pretty severe hills we went down and up. Makes your stomach jump into your throat and do some flip-flops! It was fun, FUN, FUN! (Boy am I gonna 'pay' for all that fun, tomorrow in many new aching muscles - definetly worth it though.)

Got done, headed home, put the bikes away, had a neat family supper, played some dominoes, ran an errand and now we're going to watch the extras on Scott's new Top Gun, collectors edition, DVD.

Man - what a day. Tomorrow we're gonna have to take it easy!! :)

Good Night!!!
