Our Labor Day weekend

This weekend we went to see Kool and the gang in concert at The Sky Ute Resort and Casino. The kids and I had a fun time although, Brett did get tired because he had to wait a long time before they came on stage. (9:30pm - didn't i mention we were there about 7:15?) I forgot there is usually an opening act. They took about an hour and then of course getting all their equipment removed...which wasn't to bad they moved fast. They were a group from Farmington called Fools Gold I think? Anyway Kool and the Gang still sound pretty good. Yes "C" here is a picture just for you...I know that it is not the same as being there maybe next time.






I do apologize for the picture being so small but it came from my camera phone and we were in the 7th row so not to bad. (NOTE to self - I should remember to take my camera with me now that I have started this blog.) I'm must use my camera more often!





Then we decided to go to Telluride just for a drive and to get away from the house. Of course no pictures to show because I didn't take my camera again. The leaves haven't changed yet but they will pretty soon. Anyway we made a huge circle of a drive. Should have know that the passes to Silverton and Ouray would be busy with lots of very slow drivers. We got stuck behind 3 motorcycles that traveled anywhere from 20-25 mph and even slower on the curves on the passes. Just when I thought it would be safe to pass they of course sped up. Then slowed down again. The cars behind me were just as frustrated as I was so what else could we do but creep along them and look at the scenery. Other groups would pull off and then pull back on when a group of cars were behind them. Apparently nobody told this group about having the same courtesy. Just to get to Ouray took almost 3 hrs.







We finally arrived in Telluride, they too had lots of motorcycles plus the Telluride Film Festivals so it was a very happening town for a Sunday. We window shopped, ate lunch, bought some Palisade peaches (last of the season), looked in a few stores and road the gondola. Jes and I walked into a jewelry store just to look. I saw a very beautiful diamond and sapphire tennis bracelet and tried to peak at the price (all through the glass case). The price was more than what I paid for Jes's car YIKES!! Definitely jewelry for the rich and famous. Didn't see anyone famous btw. We arrived home with our peaches and they are delicious mmm, mmm, good!





Hope you all enjoyed this holiday...
