VACATIONS OVER
























































We got home today from our trip to Colorado. The weather was wonderful, although we did have some snow while we were there. This is great for people from Alabama who sees snow maybe every other year or so. Everything cleared up fast and we were only house bound for one day.

The grand kids kept us real busy and we enjoyed spending time with them. We had a day at Chuckie Cheese and played all the games, rode all the rides and ate pizza and sandwiches. ( which were pretty darn good.)
Of course I have never seen a pizza yet that I didn't like.

We took one day and carried Sarah and all the kids to the Cliff Dwelling and a drive through the Garden of the Gods. This gave Sondra time to get some work done. This was the day the snow storm came through and we were about half way through the drive when it started snowing. By the time we got back to Sondra's, John could hardly see how to drive.
We didn't make it to the top of Pike's Peak this time, but will try that on the next visit. The view of the mountains was just breath taking. I can't believe there so many houses in any given area. Looking out over the area it was just a sea of houses but not to many trees. This was amazing to me since you can't look out the window without seeing trees every where here at home.
Jonathan celebrated his 39 th birthday while we were there. Sondra made him a carrot cake, which is his favorite. We didn't get to spend to much time with him. because he was away on business most of the week.
We helped Sondra hang curtains and pictures and move furniture around so I guess you might say we had a very productive week. And of course no flight would be complete without my arial pictures. As you can see there was a lot of snow left on the ground. Luckily we were able to enjoy the snow without it interferring with our trip.
We had a wonderful time, but now it is time for me to get back in the groove of working. 4:45 a.m. comes early in the morning so I need to start making arrangements for the week ahead.
