Colorado - Day #4


From Cambry's journal:  "We went to Cave of the Winds, played frisbee golf, and we went out to eat" (at Serrano's - a mexican restaurant).

We did, indeed, do the touristy things on this trip - including Cave of the Winds.  We took Papa along with us, and had a really good time.  It was definitely something the kids had never done.  In fact, halfway through our tour, Cambry looked at me and said, "This is not what I expected.  It's better!"  One bonus of being in a cave was that it was nice and cool!  And, Chelan and I got a good work-out, since we had to hold Delaney for most of the tour!

Some morning fun in the cabin:

Views from the cave.  Lots of tight spaces to maneuver through.  Our tour guide said it used to be a 4 hour crawl-through tour!  Thank goodness times have changed!






The view from outside the cave - quite a canyon!
We headed back to RMMC and before supper, we played frisbee golf.  There is nothing like playing outside with a storm approaching.  This caused quite a bit of concern for the girls, but I could have stayed there and listened to the mountain thunder all night!  However, lightning started to flash so we had to call the game before it ended.
Looking for the first tee-off.

 Most nights, we ate supper at the cabin with food we brought from home.  On Thursday night, our last night, we went to Woodland Park (about 20 minutes away), to Serrano's.  It looks like a bright yellow hole-in-the-wall, but I would highly recommend it!  I don't have pictures to prove it, but the food was delicious!  Afterwards - more games!

Choosing Trust Over Fear

I have struggled with writing about the shooting in Hesston - in fact, I wasn't going to post anything about it.  However, for the sake of memories, I decided I should at least touch on it.  It does deserve a place. It just hit so close to home - particularly since Doug was directly involved.  Honestly, I sometimes feel guilty for struggling with this tragedy.  I wasn't there, I didn't lose anyone close to me, and, although I know a few people who work there, I didn't know any of the victims.  And I get to move on with my life with little disruption.  I feel like I am on the outside looking in.   But I guess that's okay.  I didn't have to be directly involved for this to touch me.  My heart is sad for the families of those who died, for those who were injured, for those who witnessed it, for my brother-in-law who will probably replay images over and over, for my sister and my niece and nephew who might sometimes wonder "what if?", for th...

NCAA Division 1 Volleyball Championships

Chelan and I took Delaney to Kansas City for the championship game of the NCAA Volleyball Tournament - a birthday gift given to her in August. What a cool experience! From posing with the trophy to testing her vertical (6th place for all girls who tried!), to watching the match between Texas A&M and Kentucky, to a real life reindeer in the arena, we had a fun day!

Cousin Week

We declared last week "Cousin Week" and went to see Cale, Mace, and Ty play football.  We also watched Addi play volleyball.  Three of those events were on the same day!  I'm sure the girls feel like they have seen enough football to last a long time.  Little do they know - Caiden will be playing in 2 short years and they will have to sit through a lot more of those! We did enjoy watching each one - watching their strengths come through, watching them interact with teammates and coaches.  They are all growing up - just like our own three keep doing!  How does that happen?? Now, if only we could magically appear in California for the other cousins' sports endeavors! Addi - already an 8th grader! Ty, a 5th grader - far right Good teammate Mace, also a 5th grader - #6 Cale, an 8th grader.  #83 (white shirt)
