Unfortunately, Glenn was not up to par - he had went to the ER the Saturday before with a bad head cold and hearing loss! The dr said his ears were plugged so they cleaned them out - but there was fluid behind the ears which would take a while to heal! We were hoping his hearing would return by the weekend but it hadn't..................so we packed up the meds and IB Profren and hoped he would do OK!
Since he couldn't hear well, I ended up driving! And wouldn't you know it, the night before we had an inch of snow so the roads were slick and sloppy! By the time we got to Co. Springs, it was hard to even see out of the windows so we stopped for a car wash!
It was a nice drive up there and we stopped for a quick lunch in Estes Park at a sandwich place called "Scratch" - it was great!! And then it was on to the YMCA to unpack into our cabin!
We had the same 2 cabins as last year - but this year Glenn and I took the smaller room with twin beds and let Jessi and Gary have the large bedroom which also had a twin bed for Gwyn! The Savages arrived soon after us and after organizing, we headed over for the kids to skate!
Can you believe they even had small enough skates for Gwyn?
Our evening meal is always soup - since the Smiths weren't going to arrive till after dinner, Jessi brought one batch of soup and Jill brought a large sandwich!
Robby all ready to cut the sandwich up!!
But lo and behold, after all that work Jessi did to make homemade wild rice and chicken soup, not much was eaten! Since the soup was still frozen, Jessi put it in a metal pot and started heating it up - only to discover that SOMETHING tainted the soup - we assume it had to be the metal pot!! OH MY - so disappointing!! But there was a frozen chunk that was NOT put into the pot so we microwaved it and a few of us got a bowl of soup! It all worked out OK but Jessi felt so bad!
While the girls cleaned up, the kids had tablet time!
The Smiths arrived so we could celebrate Kenzie's 9th birthday!! She had several gifts to open up!!
Besides money for books and a coupon for a movie, we gave her paints - she was excited!!
Her chosen birthday dessert was oreo fluff so we all enjoyed that! Some of us went down to the other cabin for some karaoke while the guys stayed at our cabin!
Jill and I sang up a storm on "Dancing Queen"!!

What fun times! So sorry Glenn was sick - not much fun. I am still fighting my cold and slowly getting better.
Darn on that soup - ugh! Oh well! More memories made, right?! It was a great start to the weekend!
