The adventure began at 6am, when Kris, Wayland, and I all awoke to begin the journey to Colorado. The guys were gearing up for their summer hike, and I was tagging along for the ride to surprise my sister for her birthday. She had no idea...I had worked it out with her husband, Jason.
Sadly, Jenny was at home dealing with a feverish Aubree. I sincerely hope my surprise is a good one and not a stress on her.
We made Wayland break out of his shell and didn't let him get a salad at McDonald's. We went and got salads from Wendy's instead. He had to step outside the arches for dinner too, and he got a salad from Chik-Fil-A instead.
We saw a volcano on the ride:
We stopped for the restroom, and I found a gas pump graveyard behind it.
There was also a helicopter that passed by carrying something I could not identify.
Later on, we saw forested areas that appeared to be heavily affected by fires. Maybe the helicopter was carrying water?
Finally arrived at Jenny's at 7:30pm. Jason and Aubree were waiting for us.
Jenny arrived a bit after 9pm. I hid in the stairwell. I was going to jump out and say boo, but sleep deprivation (or, at least that is what I am blaming my ineptitude on) made me miss my cue. She saw my stuff before she ever saw me.
Day 2 - Saturday, June 18, 2011
Today Aubree was still not feeling well. Jason brought us Rumbi for lunch, then Bonnie and Jim came over with gifts. Jenny opened (or rather Aubree and Lily opened) some birthday gifts from Bonnie and Jim and Jim opened his Father's Day presents.
Later, when the girls were down for a nap, Jenny and I went shopping.
Jason and Jenny made a fabulous breakfast for dinner of french toast, bacon, eggs, and fruit.
We are now watching The Other Woman, which I am not sure if I like. Lily is a bundle of energy. Kayna should be here tomorrow.
Day 3 - Sunday, June 19, 2011
Jenny's birthday was a good day. We took the girls to the park before Kayna got back. Jenny opened birthday gifts, and Jason opened Father's Day gifts. Good day with the family.
Day 4 - Monday, June 20, 2011
Aubree was feeling better, so we went to Pump It Up for a few hours to let the girls jump and slide to their hearts content. We had lunch at Red Robin and took time to shop today.
Day 5 - Tuesday, June 21, 2011
Another great day with the girls. Just spending time reading books, playing, enjoying each other, eating good fun, eating good ice cream...great visit!
