Fort Collins Bound

 Since Evan wasn't running in his track meet on Saturday, we packed up and headed out!  Jessi and Gary both had to work anyway and the teens were sleeping away!  It was a nice drive up to Fort Collins and wonderful to see the Savage family - and even their dog, Penny!

Robby had donuts waiting for us and they tasted delicious with a cup of coffee!!  Unfortunately Aleah had been sick with a sore throat and fever so wasn't playing softball that day - she did feel better though!  We had a great afternoon and played some cards!

The lilacs were blooming in Denver AND Fort Collins - oh my do they smell fantastic!!  I picked a bunch at Jessi's and put them in a glass and then I picked some at Jill's and did the same thing!  Those delicate flowers are amazing!

Before dinner, Jill had me open my Mothers' Day present from the 3 girls - my annual blog book which I DEARLY LOVE!!  It's so fun knowing I get this book every year for Mothers' Day and wondering what color the book will be!  THANK YOU GIRLS!!

Aleah wanted to go to her game that evening, even though she knew she wouldn't suit up!  So Jill and I took her to the game, about 45 minutes away!  It was fun watching the other girls play and they won again!!  Hooray!

The next morning I went for a nice walk before we ate breakfast and played cards with the kids!  Aren't they cute?  Aleah was feeling just fine so suited up for her late morning game!

A quick picture with the grandparents and I packed up all of our stuff for Glenn to drive the car to the game since it was in the direction of home!

Aleah had to be there early so we dropped her off and went into Fort Lupton for coffee - I had found a place which was right at the edge of town so it was perfect!  Great coffee and a great spot to drink it!

We headed to the game and got our chairs set up - it was super windy and the wind only got worse as the day went on!!  The guys arrived just in time for the game - a very exciting game and they won - Aleah did not get to play as we all expected since she had missed practice and games on Saturday!

Here's their new poster which was hung on the fence - Robby is one of the sponsors with his computer business!

We ate our lunch and waited for the next game in the wind - Aleah got to run as a courtesy runner but that was all!  Unfortunately they lost that game.  We were planning on leaving to head home after that game but decided to stay and watch a little bit of the next one - we kept moving our chairs around as the girls played on a different field but the wind just wouldn't cooperate - we finally sat on the bleachers for a while!  Here's a picture of Parker - he was NOT a happy camper being there and his face was SO dirty from the dust!

We left after a couple of innings and headed home - luckily the traffic wasn't too bad and we made it home that evening!   What a great time in Denver AND Fort Collins seeing everyone!
