While in Colorado last week, Sunday we joined my Aunt Colleen at her church for their morning service. I took my camera with the intention to take a picture or two, but failed to pull it out of the diaper bag...the boys kept us busy during the service!

| Harvick and Jarrett made a mess (over and over) at Colleen's house. Here, they are taking apart a box of magazines (craft ones Colleen gave to my dad for 2nd grade art inspiration). My dad let them - see those knees in the bottom left of the right picture?! That was my dad...enjoying watching them "work together"! |
We came home for lunch, then decided to let the boys skip their naps, in order to go to a nearby train museum - Greeley Freight Station Museum. Colleen had heard about it from a co-worker (I believe), and it was such a fun place for Ryder. The museum was 2 floors - with the second floor only being around the perimeter, so you could look at the train layouts from above. There was a an actual red caboose you could walk through, a children's train table, and a quarter-operated Thomas the Train layout. Ryder LOVED it! Harvick and Jarrett were surprisingly entertained by it as well.

After the museum, we headed over to Claire & Sue's house for dinner. To be honest, I have no idea how my mom and Aunt Colleen know Claire & Sue...my mom commented this trip about remembering attending their wedding (39 years ago!). Suffice it to say, visiting Colorado as a child has always meant seeing Claire & Sue! Sunday, they came over for lunch, then invited us to their home for dinner. After dinner, Claire pulled out his kites...his MASSIVE kites. The wind was strong (it actually started raining while we were out), so it was good kite flying weather! Getting the kite up in the air is less challenging than I had anticipated (someone on the kite end throws it up, and the wind catches it); however, controlling the kite is tricky. The kite is attached to two strings, each with wrist strips...thankfully, Claire was (super) patient with each of us (adults) as we tried it out!
