We drove up Thursday after the family dinner party, we left Mesa about 10:30ish and made it there at 1am.
Chase and Beth joined up Friday night around 10pm and we had a blast hanging out with these two newlyweds. (Beth is Cecily's favorite aunt and she was in CB heaven with her there to cuddle and giggle with). Beth and I aren't in any pictures because we enjoyed our time playing games and reading our really sad books. (Hers probably more sad than mine because I didn't start sobbing like a baby about mine til I got home). As usual here are the highlights of the trip.
I put together a 999 (missing one!) puzzle all by myself in less than 14 hours. I KNOW!
Notice Asher is holding a blanket, bottle and toy gun? Ahhh... life as a boy.
Fry's didn't have the stick on eye patches so I had to get the one-size-fits-all-pirate-patch but it's ok cause she got some good "Arrrr!'s" out of it.
Ash LOVED riding the quads, he made sure he rode with Daddy and uncle Chase. Beth took Jocelyn on a nice long ride and Chris freaked Cecily out enough where I don't think she'll ever ride again.
Chase and Chris rode to go shooting, it started POURING on their way back and they got all muddy and wet.
Asher getting some more uncle time.
Jocelyn decided she wanted to do a puzzle all by herself. I helped her on the harder pieces but she did everything else by herself (300 pieces! I'm so proud!)
We went on a little drive with the kids to Halls place (aka pottery hill) I remembered there was a creepy well in some trees there but with the fire I couldn't remember exactly where it was until I found it. (I'm really good at eye spy games) Don't worry we checked to make sure Samara wasn't there to eat us.
Then we took a nice little hike around Pope's land and Jocelyn asked if she could live here. Umm... no.
The view from our front door as it rained all evening and night. It was a glorius trip! It's really hard to go from sweater weather to oven baking but that's ok we'll be in Ft. Collins soon!
uh..nice try with the "toy gun?" bit. That looks alarmingly similar to the one Ryan carts to work every time he has court. That's it I'm calling CPS...AZ or CO...better call both. Does CO really know what they are getting into inviting you to come?
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for inviting us! It was suuuuuuppperrrrr fun! I was worried we would be an nuisance to you guys! but we are so glad we came up! you guys are awesome!
ReplyDeleteps- sheesh! you didn't he to tell everyone in blog-land that i cried like a baby while reading my book!
Oops! That was supposed to be just about me crying like a baby but I guess I totally implied that you sobbed too.
ReplyDeleteGwen, even joking the thought of CPS being called on me is the most terrifying thing in the world! It is a alarmingly real looking gun. I had to take a double take every time I saw him with it!
it's ok! i was only joking. i'm proud of my sensitivity... plus it was a really sad book!
