Family Visit

Hello all! I know it's been a while since I've blogged...but I've been having fun :)

My family came last weekend and we had a blast! The best part was seeing each other. We explored around Centennial and made our way to Colorado Springs for a day.

We decided we would "kill two birds with one stone" and horseback ride through the Garden of the Gods. It was a beautiful 97 degree day and we spent it on horses for over two hours! My horse was named Easy...far from the truth! Basically I freaked out at all the eating it was doing and holding up all the other riders. Hattie nearly got bucked off when a horse fly was pestering her horse King. Maemie's horse DeeDee was very well behaved. Let me tell you it didn't seem like a beginner's ride as we were taken up and down steep inclines and drop-offs. We survived anyway :)

I wanted them to have the experience of eating a tri tip roast...so Hattie and I grilled it and served buttered red potatoes and fruit to go with it. Later we enjoyed mini cakes from Nothing Bundt Cakes bakery. They were aired on the Food Network and are delicious! We chose to sample chocolate-chocolate chip, red velvet, and white chocolate raspberry.

The five-ish days that they were here went way too fast, but I was glad to show them around to my favorite places! They also met some of my co-workers and saw my cube.

We had fun!
