Weekend with Family

This weekend Megan and Kasey came out to visit and we had a good time exploring some of the sights of Colorado and just visiting since it had been a while. After hearing about all the Vegas hotel adventures (we'll just say it involved fire alarms, bed bugs and the middle of the night)...it's not worth it to find a cheap place to sleep in Vegas :-)

Friday we headed out to White Ranch and did some hiking up the canyon and got to check out some of the cool HUGE houses out there. It turned out to be quite a bit warmer this weekend than anybody had anticipated it was going to be and so we got pretty warm on the hike. Kona looked like she was about to die a few times and acted like she didn't even enjoy the hike (yeah right, we know she did).

That evening we headed downtown to check things out down there and visit a restaurant called Earls that we found on 16th street. It is a great combination of inexpensive, good food and right in the middle of the action on 16th street making it a fun place to hang out for a few hours.

Saturday we had grandiose plans of heading up to the mountains and checking out all the cool Aspens (since it is prime season for it) and see the chaning colors. Well, we had a good time, but it amounted to more of a drive through the hills and a lot of Aspens with no leaves. I guess the snow last weekend pretty well made them drop most of what was left. We saw a few though and had a good time hanging out in Breckenridge for a couple hours. It was nice being up there and being able to walk around in shorts. We don't get up there too often in the summer when it's warm.






Saturday evening we were pretty well worn out, so we cooked up some steaks and relaxed for the evening. We saw the movie 'Next' which had some clever ideas in it and was about this guy that could see into the future, but had kind of a lame ending.




Sunday we went to church, grabbed some breakfast and they were back off to the airport. It was a nice visit. Hopefully we'll be able to do more of these in the future with them visiting us or us heading out there. Maybe one of these days we'll all live in the same area :-)
