Spring Break in Ft Collins

What fantastic weather Ft Collins was having when we arrived on Tuesday afternoon!  Jill's daffodils were already blooming!  Her and the kids were excited to be on spring break and I was excited to spend some time with everyone!

Robby had found a travel trailer in Omaha, Ne that he wanted to go out and hopefully buy so Glenn decided to ride with him on Tuesday - too bad the trailer had some serious issues so Robby didn't buy it!  But Glenn did get to stop at Children's Hospital and see Maggie - Neal and Jen's little girl - who had been diagnosed with meningitis.  Glenn and Robby spent the night with Patty and Leonard and had a great time visiting before they headed back on Thursday!

In the meantime, Jill and I decided to head to a movie (since it was bargain night at the theater) so we saw "Lion".  Great movie!

Aleah and Parker love getting little gifts so I stopped at the Dollar Store before we headed up and bought a sack full of stuff for the kids - I doled out the little gifts throughout a couple of days and they enjoyed getting each and every one!   They loved the cards I got them and we played many many games of the "8" game!

 It was warm enough out for the kids to have fun with water balloons!

 We all did a little shopping and then took a short hike.

 By that time, the kids (plus Jill and I) were ready for smoothies!

 Jill and I even got away one afternoon while the neighbor watched the kids and we went to the "Chocolate Cafe" - gosh they have great desserts and coffee!

 Jill got her flower beds cleaned out, I helped her re-decorate Parker's room, and I watched while Aleah took a piano lesson!!  We were glad to see the guys back early Thursday evening!

Jill had a conference in Denver on Friday so she headed out early Friday morning - since it was St Patrick's Day, the kids changed the clothes on the frog - doesn't he look cute?

And then it was time to head to Denver..................thanks for an awesome time Jill!
