Vacation in Colorado & Kansas - May/June 2007

At the end of May/beginning of June, Mark and I took a trip with Fritz & Judy to visit (Mark's brother) Jay, Shelli, & Emma in Ft. Collins, CO. We were able to go to Colorado Springs and visit Focus on the Family and we stopped at the Compassion International headquarters. Shelli and I toured the Celestial Seasonings plant and that was fun. We went to Estes Park one day. And, one of the highlights for me, was that I got to eat at Sonic! We don't have Sonics up here. :-( While in Colorado, we got our first experience of Wii. It was quite fun! I'd highly recommend it for entertainment. Some how, only the guys got their pictures taken with their Wii characters. They are pretty good.

On the way back to Wisconsin, we went through Kansas City and spent some time with my parents and friends Debbie and Heather. It was nice to visit Christ Community Church (where we were married). We played mini golf, had some Sheridan's Frozen Custard, and played Mexican Train. It was a beautiful evening outside that night (playing Mexican Train in a gazebo at the hotel).....no bugs, very low humidity (that's unusual for KS weather), and just the right temperature. The time just went by too fast! Here's some pics:
