Sunday Night

Just took CJ, Janel and Jackson to the airport and we miss them already. We had such a great time while they were here. Thursday we unloaded the truck and showed CJ around town. In the afternoon CJ and I looked at some houses and then met up with Doug to pick up the boys. CJ was as impressed with Frank's school as anyone else who has seen it, and rightly so. Janel and Jackson flew in Thursday night and all of us went to DIA to pick them up. Stopped at our favorite after-airport spot, the Castle Café in Castle Rock, home of the best pan-fried chicken in Colorado (according to the best of Colorado books).

Friday we had breakfast at the Coffee Cup, looked around the market and then went to Denver and walked around Lodo, something Janel and I had done when she and I came here two years ago. Later we met up with Thad, Lecey and their kids at the local bowling alley, had a blast and then ordered pizzas and went back to the house to watch the Rockies game.

Saturday morning we all hit the farmer's market, then Janel and I did some shopping and had lunch while all the boys when hiking and fishing. We met up in the afternoon to go looking at houses and of course, there were several CJ and Janel just loved. We again met up with Thad and Lecey, had Danielle babysit (ALL of the kids, she's amazing!), and went down to Jack Quinn's. After too much to eat and drink, and so much laughter that my body ached, we went back to the house where all the kids were still awake. I played iPod DJ and the kids (and sometimes the adults) danced until after midnight.

Today we went to Garden of the Gods and then tried to spend some time at the house. I listened to the Rockies game on the way home from the airport, which kept me awake. They're off to the World Series, first time ever for them. Great fun.
