awesome weekend

We spent the weekend in Colorado Springs (hereafter knows as CS) with the Maravilla Bros and families. We are still tickled at the concept of driving in the car in under two hours to visit family. We spent a beautiful afternoon at the river in Eleven Mile Canyon on Saturday. A thunderstorm chased us away early, but we stopped for ice cream to make up for it.

Sunday we had a big ole dinner and dessert night for Tom's birthday. Tami made an amazing chocolate cream pie that has changed my mind about chocolate pudding! The cousins had buckets of fun running around, playing dress up and hide and seek until well after 9 pm.


Monday we woke up early (after begging and demanding on my part) to go to the Hot Air Balloon Classic. It was just as awesome as I expected...countless hot air ballooons blowing up and lifting off right in front of our eyes. Everyone loved it!
