North To Fort Collins

Time to head north and see the Savages' before we head to Mexico!  Since Glenn had a final checkup with his shoulder surgeon on Friday morning, it was a perfect time to head on up!  He got a clean bill of health from the surgeon and doesn't have to go back unless there's a problem.

After coffee and bagels, we headed up the interstate and the traffic wasn't 1/2 bad - even with 4 accidents in Denver!!  Robby and Jill were still working and Aleah had basketball practice so I put dinner in the crock pot and we were there to welcome Parker home from school.

Saturday morning the guys headed out to ice fish - way too early for me but they made enough noise in the kitchen (right above the guest bed in the lower level) to keep me awake so I was darn irritable when I woke up!  But Jill and I had the morning to ourselves as Aleah went next door to play and we went shopping!!!  So I HAD to get in a better mood!

First stop was Kohl's which is always a great place to shop - Jill found some jeans and I found 2 cute sweaters (on a great clearance sale I might add!!)  Next was a stop at their new coffee place - the coffee was great and it's on our way out of town and fairly close to Jill's so that's a bonus!  We stopped a couple more places before we raced home to get ready for Aleah's basketball game.

The guys were just getting back - no luck fishing but Parker was a real trooper and he looked so cute in his warm clothes!

Parker turns 8 on the 13th so was excited to open his card from us - we told him as long as we ALL got ready early for Aleah's game, that he could open it!

We gave him a coupon for either going to the North Pole this summer or the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo with a stop at the gift shop afterwards!!

Then we headed to Aleah's game - it was a tough battle as several of the girls were gone so there were only 6 players to play the whole game!  She played well and has improved since last year but they lost the game!

Parker brought all of his penguins down so they could watch us play games and cards - they're all so cute!

It was a fun stop at Dairy Queen to treat the kids for Valentine's Day! I loved their blizzard of the month which was strawberry with Ghiradelli chocolate bits - yum!!!

Saturday night we watched A Star Is Born - I was so excited to see it but was really disappointed in it - ONLY because I loved the original one with Barbara Streisand and Kris Kristofferson and I thought the music would be the same!!   The story line was the same - but the music was different and just not my style I guess!  Oh well............

After church on Sunday, Jill and I taught the kids how to play Phase 10 and they loved it!!  Now we have a new game to play when we get together!!  We headed out mid-afternoon and made good time getting back home!   Thanks Robby and Jill for a great weekend!!
