Last of the summer fun

While we were in Denver we had a little bit of fun in addition to getting clothes for school.

Here are the kids at the entrance getting ready for some fun...can you tell how excited they are...I can't but maybe it is because the sun was in their eyes

Jessica and Cody are strapped in tight for the "Slingshot"
They claim this is the best ride in the park

"The Slingshot" is just what it says...this ride shoots you straight up in the air and then you bounce around for awhile before they bring you down.

Cody says the take off is the best part...by the way it costs and extra $ amount to ride

Charissa, Jessica, Cody, and Evan are in the back row on "Shake Rattle and Roll"

I could not get Brett to ride this because it spins you all around while it is turning hence the name

Cody and Evan riding on Chaos another fun ride!

The kids and I enjoyed our time in Denver shopping, playing, and visiting with family. We returned home yesterday after a very, very, very long trip home. I was not feeling well at all diarrhea, nausea, chills, and just plain miserable...I had to have Jessica drive all the way from Saguache to home. I thank God that Jessica made it safely home and that she can drive otherwise I don't know how we would have made it home. When we got home I went straight to bed. Today I feel a little better and that is good because I had to return to work today. I don't have any more nausea thanking the Lord for that. I am praying for the diarrhea to stop. It is much better than yesterday but it is still here.

Anyway my first day back at work was fun. We went to Towaco today to see the Ute Mountain Ute Pottery store. We had a tour from the start to finish of the production of making pottery. Pretty interesting...at the end of the tour we got to see how they "hand paint" ALL of the pottery. Truly amazing. After our tour we had the opportunity to make our own design on our mugs. I didn't have my camera so I will post a picture when I get the mug maybe by next week. I did purchase a pot because I couldn't resist! I even got a discount which was a blessing. My mug is not even close by a long shot. Not bad for my first day back to work! Tomorrow is going to be a loooooooong day...in-service day.
