Our Time in CO

Our time in CO was split up with a week in CA.  We are in NC now and much of our time in CO seems like a blur and so long ago.  One highlight from our time there was being able to celebrate Gary’s parents’ 50th wedding anniversary.  It was actually in August, but the celebration party was in September.  Much of the family flew in for it, so that was really nice, and I was able to meet some family members that I’ve never met before (like Debbie’s sister in the picture above).

Near the end of our time we were in Colorado Springs overnight and woke up to snow.  It was a good amount, but thankfully did not make the roads unsafe to drive on.  After we left that morning, we went to the homes of 4 different people in Denver back-to-back before going to Gary’s parents’ house.  I enjoyed seeing the people, but it was very rushed, which wasn’t so fun.  It was great to see Mark and Matthew, two of Gary’s good friends, one from birth and one from high school.  They were both in our wedding. Ethan enjoyed “playing” the drums and guitar while we stayed at Mark and Holly’s house.  Gary has taught him the difference between an bass guitar, electric guitar and an acoustic guitar, so he knew what kind of guitar this was right away.
