Colorado June 2009

Here is the second post about our June trip to Colorado to see our good friends Randy and Jessica. When we decided to go visit Grandma Johns we thought we would see if they would mind if we “popped in” two days later. They were game for a last minute visit and we had a blast. The first night we just hung out and caught up on everything. Then on Saturday we headed to some mountain that was supposed to have sheep or goats or something for your viewing pleasure, but they weren’t game to come out for us. Nadia was just happy she found a cool new rock. :) The view itself was beautiful and I got in my hiking quota for the year (I will be honest, it wasn’t really hiking, but I still count it).

After that we headed back towards Denver and made a stop at ‘Lookout Mountain’ where William ‘Buffalo Bill’ Cody is buried. The views were amazing, but you can see below what Nadia liked the best. See the Colorado Scenery album for those photos.

That night we had an awesome meal made by Randy and Jessica. YUM! Abby and Nadia had some fun while the meat was grilling.

On Sunday we went to church with our hosts and then to Ted’s for buffalo burgers. In the evening just the adults went out to eat while Randy’s parents kept an eye on the three kids (sadly that photo was completely blurry), and we also baked another flavor of cupcakes which is a tradition when Jessica and I visit each other.

And it was our second Father’s Day as a family and Nadia just wanted to show off her rocks in the photo.

    I think I should have made it more clear that every time Jessica and I visit each other we try a NEW cupcake recipe. Years ago I got a “Taste of Home Cupcake and Muffin” cookbook. Jessica wanted it so I found a woman on eBay selling it since it was no longer for sale.

    So each visit to Texas or Colorado leads to one or two new delights. It has 100′s of recipes so we have a lot of work ahead of us :)
