Colorado

Longs Peak at dusk.

We have been here in Colorado for a week now, staying at some friends' cottage. It has been such a blessing. We have been relaxing, hiking, sledding, camping (on the way here), fellowshipping with friends, fishing, meeting old acquaintances....etc.

Besides our friends in Estes Park with the cottage, there is a family in Loveland that we got to know last fall when they visited us on the Hopi Reservation. We decided to go to church with them on Sunday, and it is amazing who all you meet up with in unexpected places. There were 2 people there who I went to school with years ago in WI. (one of which is my cousin)

We ended up spending the afternoon/evening at Mark and Tammy (Carter) Smith's on Sunday. We really enjoyed their fellowship and hospitality.
At church I visited briefly with Beth (Hershey) ________. (I guess I don't know her married name) They just happened to be there on their way to Alaska because their motor home broke down. It was pretty neat that I got to see them I thought.

We are nearing the end of our time here. We plan to head out on Wednesday morning. It has been a blessing to come and relax and also to fellowship with others and make new friends. We have really been blessed to see the beauty of God's creation and the abundance of wildlife here.

Here are a few random pics.



The children got a chance to ride horse Sunday afternoon.

This one...don't ask.

Fun at the creek in the backyard of the cottage.
