Sprint for Life

The girls and I got up early and headed downtown to participate in the Sprint for Life 5K in honor of our friend Tiffany Janis who passed away from cancer on January 1st. We had a big group that came out in her honor.

Headed home

Left Colorado for the long drive home. We had 2 cars and luckily we had 2 drivers for each car. We made good time, we didn't hit any bad weather, traffic jams or construction. We stopped in Amarillo to eat at Rosas Cafe, a tradition. We made it home in 17 hours with stops.

Bye bye Colorado

How much longer?

The seatbelt left a mark on my face when I was napping

One more day in Denver

We spent the day with my niece, Jyl. We went to lunch at Chipotle and then the girls went to a movie and the guys went to play golf. That night we went to a Mexican restaurant to celebrate Makenzie's 19th birthday.

See Dale, you're not the only one who can fly a plane

We told Isaac if he concentrated enough he could open his can with his mind.
While his eyes were closed we opened it and he opened his eyes and said "cool"
