Colorado

We had a good trip to Colorado this weekend. So much to be thankful for:

1. We got to the Denver Temple in time for Dot and Pat's sealing. We got a little later start than we had planned, but would have been fine except that a few miles down the freeway I realized I'd forgotten my enhailer! No I am no asthmatic- except for when I'm around cats. Seriously I am MISERABLE without my enhailer in a house with cats- so we had to turn around and get it- adding another 1/2 hour to the trip. Luckily we still got to Cliff and Leah's house with just enough time to drop off the kids with the sitter, change our clothes and head over to the temple.

2. The sealing. Very neat- especially because Dot has been waiting a long time for this- and Pat was prepared and ready.

3. HILLARIOUS moments. The next night we were all in Buena Vista and went to a local steakhouse for dinner as part of Brea and Tom's reception stuff. They reserveda room for us- good thing becaue it was quite the night. There were a few skits pepared and performed: a Finding Love gameshow (I was bachelorette #1), and Disco dance skit by all the parents, and the the best was last- a skit by Jake and Rick where Rick shaved his head and put on make-up to look black, and they both fit in HUGE pants and a shirt to look like siamese twins!!! They did a funny dialogue and then a dance to Black or White by MJ. It was too funny for words.

4. The reception. They held this one in the BV "museum"- a really old building with a lot of character. Jake said he thought 1/2 the town showed up :)

5. Small branch church...you had to be there. One of the craziest sacrament meeting talks I've heard in a long time! LOL!!!

6. Safe trip back. Both there and back we had Rick, Jenny, and McKyla riding with us- which means every seat was filled. We all fit though- and the kids did pretty darn good!
