On The Road Again...

 As good as it feels to be back home, the amount of  things to do once you get there is overwhelming! Unpacking and laundry is a given - basically most everything we take to Mexico needs to be washed once we get back home - mainly because it's all wrinkled after being packed for 4 days or more but also  beause when we get back home, it's still COLD out so all the clothes need to be still put away with the rest of the summer clothes for a few more weeks!

And the mail - oh my gosh - our huge island was completely covered!  Jaime was kind enough to sort it all into piles so of course a lot of it was junk mail!  But there was a pretty good pile of things that needed attention and that took many hours to go though and deal with all of that!

The house had a nice layer of dust on it and I hadn't cleaned the couple of weeks before we left so the house needed a good clean!  And the list went on and on and on.....

I headed over one morning to have coffee with Jaime and catch up with the Smiths'!  She had taken care of all of the plants so I packed them up and brought them home!

I always miss the kids and grandkids while we're gone - and since I needed an adjustment desperately, we decided to head to Denver for the weekend!  Glenn had a dr appt in Co. Springs Friday morning and after that we headed to Rayna's place to meet Jaime and Brad - they wanted Glenn to help out with remodeling the basement!  So the 3 of them did measurements and all kinds of lists and plans while Rayna and I caught up!  Jaime's headed back up home while Glenn and I took Rayna to lunch and then we finally got left for Denver!

We made it there just in time for me to walk with Jessi to pick up Gwyn from school - it was sure great to see her!  Jessi had a yummy pork roast in the crockpot for dinner and we watched a movie that night!

Saturday morning was coffee time with Jessi!  It had been a long time since we've done that so we headed to our favorite coffee spot and talked the morning away! And then we were off to Evan's track meet!

The day was warm - in fact at times it was downright hot!  Evan ran in the 4 x 800 relay - he ran great and the team took 2nd place at this invitational!  WOW!  But he did get a bad blister out of the race so he was hobbling around afterwards!  It was fun to spend time with Gwyn too!

Evans' girlfriend Hannah had went with us - they sure make a cute couple and she is super nice!

We stayed a couple more hours to watch other events which is always fun - I got so hot I had to go sit in the shade awhile!  Not used to that sun at the higher elevation yet!

Kenzie had a slumber party that night to attend and Evan and Hannah stayed at the track meet till it was over about 9:30 - we played some cards and hung out until bedtime!

We all headed to church the next morning (picture is out of order) and then came back and played a game before Glenn and I packed up to head home!

It was so good to see everyone - and the next weekend is Ft. Collins!
