Colorado Springs in May

             Dan and I had United passes to fly to Denver right out of Idaho Falls,                          
so on May 26th that's just what we did.
However, as usual there were a few glitches in our travels and Dan got on the 6:30 AM flight alone.  His was the last seat so while he went on to Colorado Springs without me, I went back home and went straight back to bed.  Dan got to Denver while I was still sleeping.
I actually had time to get up and wash my hair, clean the house a bit and then head back to the airport for the 1:00 PM flight.  It was fairly wide open flight and no problem getting on.
When I hooked up with Dan in Denver he had our luggage, had gotten a bite to eat and waited patiently through most of the day for me.
We rented a car and drove out to Mark and Laura's house.  This was Dan's third time there but it was a first for me.
They let us park in their garage so it was easier for Dan to get in and out instead of walking from the street parking.  How's that for being treated "royally"?
It was SO fun to spend time with Jace and Anabelle. They are the cutest kids ever. They showed us all their favorite things to do.


After a great dinner Laura announced that Jace, Annie and I were in charge of making brownies.
Now tell me, does she look "in charge"?
No matter who was in charge, we had a super time together.
Annie may have had the box, but Jace had the bag.


                                            "This tastes just right."             
"But Mom, Granma said I could have it."

                                                "Good.  She didn't lick it."

"Tastes pretty good."

 "I think I like it."

                                       "Oops, missed a spot"                                                        


                                                                                       "Here Dad, try this."

                                                   "No thanks.  I'm good. 
                                        I've got the spatula."
 

"Guess we're all happy now."

On Sunday we went to Church with Laura.  Mark was already there for early morning meetings since he's in the Bishopric.  He just happened to be conducting that day along with being one of the Speakers.
He did a great job and you can see why he's in that calling.
Later that evening the kids and I went on a walk to the park where we played on the toys.
"Look Granma"
"Look Granma"
"Look Granma"
"Look Granma"

  "Hey, Granma"
"Look here"

           Monday morning we went with them to a Ward Memorial Day Breakfast.                    The food was good but the company was the best ever.










As always "all good things must come to an end".  Dan and I headed back to the airport and Laura and Mark and the kids headed to the mountains for a fun day of riding with their friends.
Good times!  Good thing we went when we did.  They are actually moving from Colorado Springs this week.  By the time this was posted they'd moved.
Here are a few extra fun photos.
