Memorial Day







Traditionally, we go to Castlewood Canyon for a hike and a picnic, but this year it was just too rainy so we went down to the Springs to visit Todd's parents. It was a great day eating, visiting and playing a new favorite game - Take Two - a twist on Scrabble using the tiles and not the board. I learned it at my brother's house when I went to Utah. It is really fun. I think it gave my mother in law a headache though! So sorry. The kids enjoyed the hot tub too. We also watched the movie God's Army. It was interesting to see after we have been so inviolved withthe missionaries in our ward teaching our neighbors. They are so so talented in teaching the gospel and yet also their youthfulness shines through - good and - not so much we will leave it at that!!

Memorial Day Weekend festivities












Todd's Band had a wonderful Americana tribute and then we had a bbq with our neighbors Dave and Denise. I have been helping with their new dog while they are at work. We also followed our tradition and went to Castlewood Canyon like we always do on Memorial Day. It was great fun. Yeah summertime!!
