Our week in Denver...

Tara, Kailey and I spent a week in Denver with Jamie, Caroline and the kids. They (the parent people!) were involved in a friend's wedding that took them out of town. So, that left us with the keys to the house, 2 darling kids, 2 fish and a cat. Ashley had just had her tonsils out about a week before, it did rain hard for a few days and the temp outside turned cold, but it didn't stop us from having a good time. We got to spend time with the Letner's, which is always fun; did some shopping, (Tara found her way around just fine. She was determined to find whatever store she was wanting!!) we enjoyed the eating places, had time to do some reading and it was good just to hear the sound of the kids playing. Thanks for trusting us to take care of things for you Jamie and Caroline, we had a nice time in Denver. Being able to see everyone was the best treat.

Pictures of some of the things that went on while visiting Michael and Ashley!

Took a picture of them in their new shirts Tara surprised them with.

Ashley is such a good reader. Kailey and Michael liked taking advantage of it.
Look! A big bike and no training wheels! She's been riding for awhile this summer without the extra wheels, but I (Roxann) hadn't seen it yet. Proud of you Ashley.

I'm always so proud of myself when I let kids play with this stuff called 'moon sand'!!

Michael and Ashley played so well together that cleaning up the mess was a joy. We had a nice evening together.
