Laramie 08.17.09-08.23.09

Monday afternoon I travel from Fort Collins to Laramie. Greg and Kori let me stay with them and kept me well feed (I even had to eat veggies). Greg and Kori had to work during the day so I reacquainted myself with Laramie and took pictures of peoples flowers on my walks. Laramie weather was heavenly so I would take a couple walks a day. I also got to hang out with Patty for a couple hours one day. There has been a lot of changes since I was going to college but also several things have remained the same. Greg and Kori live in this wonderful neighborhood that takes great care of each other.
So on to the pictures. Sorry you get to see a ton of flower pictures and believe me this doesn't even represent a quarter of the pics I took.









On Saturday we went rock climbing up at Vedauwoo. We get out of the vehicle and we are putting sunscreen on when Greg sees a moose, but I can't get my camera fast enough and we decided there was no way we were going to go chasing because the grass was so tall. So we started to hike towards the rocks and that is when I am able to get pictures of the moose. It was very cool!!!



Here is the group pictures. This was about an hour into us climbing because we had started up oneside and realized we couldn't make it to the top so we went clear to the otherside and started to climb. The boys are little monkeys and had no problems scambling up the rocks.







A wonderful sunset in Laramie.

Thanks Kori and Greg. I had a great week. Just what the doctor ordered. I don't know if I was sore from rock climbing or having sword fights with Bodie and Jamen:)

Fort Collins 08.14.09

I started my vacation by heading to Fort Collins, CO. Susan and Dave let me stay at their house. It was so nice to visit with Susan. I had not made it out to Fort Collins in several years and when she goes to Grand Junction to see her parents I don't see them because her parents are in a different stake now. Susan's mom happened to be there as well so that was an extra plus for the trip. Susan's brother and his family also lives in Fort Collins and we spent some time over there as well. In fact as soon as I got into town we went to their house because they were building boards to play cornholing. If you are asking yourself "what the crap is cornholing" then you are having the same thought I had. There is actually a national organization. It is a pretty fun game. The only problem I had with cornholing was the color and team put on the boards. :) To learn more about cornholing go to www.americancornhole.org.



Susan's kids decided they wanted to play dress up and have me take their pictures. This was pretty funny and everyone had fun. The only kid I didn't get was the baby because he was asleep.











Thanks Susan for a great time and for letting me eat the yummy peaches your mom brought over. Monday afternoon I headed to Laramie, WY for the rest of the week.
