Colorado 2020

Finally, I was able to give Justine and Anthony big hugs after not being with them for over a year.  Even though many people thought we were selfish or crazy because of the Coronavirus pandemic, we flew to Denver and spent 5 days with our kids.  Yes we had to get tested when we returned but it was worth it.

When we landed we were met with show.  Seems to be a habit.  We checked into our hotel and drove over to Justine's house with a bucket of KFC.  Anthony ordered pizza and we played 500 until late.

 

The next day we drove 4 hours to get to the Great Sand Dunes National Park.  It was worth the ride.  We walked in snow covered sand almost to the top.  On our way back we found a Food Truck that served delicious grilled cheese sandwiches.  Back at their house we drank beer,

 played Trash and 500 again.

After eating our Thanksgiving feast we took a walk around the neighbor hood.  We watch Christmas Vacation on TV and was ready for a good night's sleep.

Friday.  What a fun day!  Anthony made us leftover turkey sliders the we walked to Long Table Brewery.  We made Ugly Sweater Rice Krispies Treats and asked my Facebook friends to vote for their favorite.   Juli won that contest.  We also played a board game, Trekking the National Parks.  It was complicated but fun.

On Saturday we had a Boozy Brunch.  Bill and Anthony went to the Denver Biscuit Co and brought home our food.  Yes, that is a Chicken Cordon Bleu Biscuit as big as my head!  We needed some exercise after that so we went to City Park and hit a big bucket of balls.  We walked around the park...watch out for the goose poop!   Then back to Teen house to teach the boys how to play our new game.  Bill was a fast learner and beat us all.  We also made scented candles.  Bill wanted no part of that.😖

Sunday, our last day.  After breakfast we watch football, talked and relaxed together.  Anthony made us a delicious Turkey Pot Pie Casserole then it was time to go to the airport.  We made alot of great memories and hopefully will be able to see them in sooner than a year next time.

  

Thank you God for protecting us and giving us the opportunity to be with our kids.  Guide and keep them safe as they live and work in Denver.  In Jesus name, Amen.
