For Easter This year Mike and I decided to head out to Colorado for a few days and then spend a few days in Kansas City as well. We left on a Friday afternoon around 130pm, and we arrived in Bailey CO at 4:00AM Our time. !!!!! Wow what a drive, It really brought back memories from my freshman year of college since we drove on I-80 for about 700 miles. Needless to say we made it Colorado all in one piece! It was dark when we got there so we could not see the huge mountain that we were driving through, but after a couple hours of sleep we woke up to the most beautiful site ever!!!!! at 8,700 ft above sea level the mountains on a clear day were breath taking. :)We were blessed to have a warm sunny day and so Annie and Pete took us to this really cool rock that had an awesome crack down the middle of it, so we climbed it! I climbed crack! well at least half of it! After we spent a great day of climbing we went to this really cool place called the buck snort really awesome place, I got a little sick while i was there, not really sure what was going on . Might have had something to do with the altitude. a couple days later i puked i think from altitude, i felt back cause i did it in this really nice pottery place, and everyone could hear me, at least we bought a mug! Day two we did some more climbing we were right on the river where Coors gets their water to make their beer. It was a little colder that day, but it was still a lot of fun! We also went to Annie's store and met all the cool people that she works with. It was a lot of fun! I got a cool water bottle. Monday, we went for a walk and Annie Pete Joe and Katie ran, it snowed a couple days that we were there, That night we bouldered at the camp which was a lot of fun, and i got a sweet bruise on my knee.
Tuesday we made Kifla, It was really good, and then we had to take Katie and Joe back to the airport so in Denver we went to this really cool place called jump street. which was really fun, Its a kids dream to play there all day. We had a lot of fun. Well Wednesday morning we headed out to Kansas city! We arrived right about 7pm and Lori and Aaron prepared a great meal for us, the kids were really excited to see us as well, they were showing me their rooms, and the cards they made for us, it took a while to get all of us to the dinner table. :) We were having too much fun! since it was nice outside when we first got there we decided to have a easter hunt before easter because the weather was so great. And also aaron and mike painted the house, or at least one side of it.
While we were there we spent an afternoon at the plaza and we had dinner down there at this really awesome Italian restaurant. and also Aaron and Lori showed us their new house which is really cool, and it will look even cooler when Aaron fixes it up!!!! I can't wait!!! they also showed us some great neighborhoods in Kansas city, and even some of the houses that Aaron worked on. and the Saturday before easter Lori and i went to target and we left the boys with the kids, while they were gone they became enthralled with a show called Horse Land, and now Mike says all the time, "Why did Aztec run away, I don't understand" We also went to this really cool place in Missouri where there were really old houses and this really cool brewery that was underground, along with this cool winery that was all wine that was made in Missouri ! We also visited some antique shops, ! on the way home we went to Dairy Queen and me olivia and owen all had star bars! good stuff!!!! Sunday we had Easter Dinner and hung around the house, On monday it was time to go home and time to get back to school :( We had so much fun on our break!!!!! I don't think we really wanted to leave, So thanks to Annie Pete Joe Katie Lori Aaron Olivia and Owen for making our break really fun and awesome! We only have a couple more weeks of school left for this year, and then we will be seniors!
