1. I know, I know. It's been way too long since our last post...Sorry!!
2. We bought a new car August 7! A 2009 Ford Flex, cinnamon metallic!! We love it!!
3. In the new car, we went to California that second week in August (minus Bobby) and visited with my sister Margaret and her family (in Los Banos) and my sister Julie and her husband (in Hollister) and many friends!
4. Bobby was laid off August 26th. "God-smacked", we were. We are doing okay, though. They gave him a very nice severance package which should hold us up for several months.
5. It has been discovered that I have gallstones and will more than likely have my gall bladder removed before our insurance runs out. Gall bladder problems run in my family.
6. The kids are all back in school. Sarah, 6th grade. Tyler, 8th grade. Travis, 10th grade. All are doing well so far.
7. Travis has been home sick the past three days with fever, head pressure, dizziness and fatigue. We think it is a sinus infection. He's on anti biotics now.
8. Sarah is home from school with a fever, too. Not sure what is up with her?!
9. I'm considering going back to work myself.
10. Finally we are having cool fall weather!! Yeah!! So tired of the hot weather!?
11. Hope to keep this up to date more consistently! Thank you all for your concern?!

Day 7 - On the road again!
Friday, July 31, 2009
So tired we were, we decided to drive straight home instead of splitting the return trip up into two days. It went well because Travis and I traded off driving every two hours. It was a 12 hour trip but with breaks and stops, it took a few more hours. There is no place like home !!

Day 6 - Finally, the Wedding !!
July 30, 2009, Thursday
Well worth it, my nephew's wedding was beautiful! The ceremony was short and sweet, the food was good, and the cake was even better!! Loved the colors, purple and silver! We had a great time!

Day 5 - Denver Museum of Nature and Science
July 29, 2009, Wednesday
Come Wednesday, we were all pretty tired but we drove into Denver again to check out this Museum which is right next to the Zoo. Very nice place! We even saw a planetarium show on "black holes" which was cool but kinda boring at the same time. It was a little awkward looking at all the dead/stuffed animals only a day after seeing living ones at the zoo !? I liked the zoo better !
Travis and Bullwinkle !
Cool wolves !
Sarah and the dinosaur.
Woolly Mammoth (I think) and kids.

Day 3 - Elitch Amusement Park, Denver, July 27, 2009
We decided to spend our first day in the Denver area at Elitch Amusement Park. Small but sufficient I would say. Both Sarah and Travis said this was what they wanted to do but neither showed much enthusiasm while we were there. So we enjoyed ourselves as much as we allowed ourselves to, I suppose. I think I need to throw in the towel when it comes to roller coasters. Severe dizziness and body pains are not fun. I only went on two roller coasters but that about did me in. There was a water park side to Elitch that Sarah and I enjoyed for a little while. Travis wasn't into it. We left in the early afternoon just before a big downpour hit so I think we timed it right. It was sunny the whole day up to that point. I think we were all just tired today so we had trouble enjoying ourselves as much as we thought we would. Travis thinks maybe it is because Tyler and Dad aren't with us. Sweet of him to say!
One of the cool water features! (Sarah in blue bathing suit)
Travis in the third from the back row, at the end of this ride, looking whipped!
We all got wet on some of the rides!!

At the entrance, on our way out! Wiped out we were!
