Colorado Visit
...just got done dragging Bella in her sleeping bag down the hall, so Doug could go to bed. (We put her to sleep in the guestroom where Doug & Kathy were going to sleep later).
Just finished playing 9 rounds of 'concentration', inspired by 12 intensive hours of 4, four-and-under toddlers running around. Kathy Won!! Dennis ate 15 spritz cookies. (p.s. Dad, we drank two bottles of Brunello with a Chicken Alfredo that Doug made). Seems like old days with a Franzen visit, only the Grueskins are still awake. Pat, Dennis & Kathy sitting around the dinner table blogging away - everyone else sleeping. Children all went to bed easily, of course after 2 hours at the pool and another 1/2 hour at the climbing room where Kathy & North had to climb into the jungle structure to go fish out the 3 older ones. Ryley had to be bribed with fruit chews, Gunnar followed and Bella was a good girl and came when her mom showed up in helicopter structure to find her.
Next stop, Durango. We have 4 days left to visit Grand Canyon and other sites before we hit Carlsbad on Thursday night. Oh yeah, Uncle Pat is spending the night. Is he ready for Ryley and Gunnar jumping on him, Bella pushing him to get up, and Fraser giving him a good morning wake up BITE! Enjoy the photos, just a snapshot of the day(signing off, its 1am)...
