Weekend recap

Our weekend actually started last Tuesday with the arrival of Josh's parents and his brother's family. Steve and Tessa are moving from Japan to Hawaii (Air Force) and they have a couple weeks leave time in between. They flew into Kansas City, had a short two day break and hopped into a van to drive here to Colorado. They got in late Tuesday night and so stayed with us that night. It was serendipitous because it gave Josh and I a chance to go out to breakfast Wednesday morning for our anniversary. Midday Wednesday they headed to a cabin in the Red Feather Lakes area about an hour and a half away from us. We stayed here because it was Jonah's last week of school. It was a good last few days for him and we're already enjoying summer break.

Friday Josh's folks drove back into town for some provisions and also to pick up Jonah and Cason to take back with them to the cabin. Josh and I then were able to attend a reception in Estes Park that was given in honor of all the contractors at Della Terra. It was a really fun evening. Better than any work Christmas party we've attended. Also nice to see my husband recognized for the quality of the work he did for them.

We got a night to ourselves and then joined everyone else at the cabin on Saturday. It was a quiet relaxing weekend. My sister in law Tessa is into henna art so she practiced on me and Josh's mom.

We took a little hike on Sunday.
Josh gave the pre-hike talk, reminding the boys of the trail rules.


Later that day the guys played football and set up races for the kids. Our boys love running races.



All in all it was a nice weekend visiting. Especially since we know we probably won't see Steve and Tessa and their kids for another four years.
