A Colorado Christmas

When our middle daughter, Natalie, suggested that instead of gifts this Christmas we take a family trip I think everyone sort of said, "What?" before agreeing it was a great idea.  So on December 28 we all met in Loveland, CO at Embassy Suites for 4 days of family fun. 

Monday night was a time of unwinding from flights and driving before climbing to 8,000 ft ABSL into the Rocky Mountain National Park for a day of sledding and snow fun.  Most of the kids and grandkids did the sledding thing while Mimi and Pops hung out in the "warming hut" babysitting.  I know...tough job, but someone has to do it.  We did make one run down the hill.


Wednesday was highlighted with at trip to Fort Collins for ice skating and lunch at BeauJo's Pizza...yum, yum.  Later that night we dined at Bonefish.

The ladies are taking in a theatrical performance of White Christmas on Thursday night before we all leave for home on Friday.

Oh, while sledding on Tuesday...all the way out in Colorado Mimi and Pops were recognized for their roles in Fireproof and there was a photoshoot in the "warming hut."  Go figure.
