Adventures in Colorado a picture happy post

I spent the last week in Colorado with my best friend

of the last 14 or so years. Her husband was on a hunting trip so

Kelli very generously used a voucher she had and flew Ha Jyn and I back home.

Even though we have not lived in the same state for over

a decade when we see each other it is always as if no

time has passed. She is

married and has four kids and I am married with a kid but despite that we are pretty much the

exact same as we were at age 13.

It was so much fun spending time with her boys.

Ha Jyn loved all the commotion. She learned

so much from watching Kelli's boys.

In the week that she was with them she learned how to crawl,

pull herself up and now really loves to play with her toys.

A couple of nights Kelli had to work and with her husband out of town

it was just me and five kids under the age of five.

They were great kids and very easy to bribe!

I would say the toughest part were just the logistics of the

youngest three. Ha Jyn and Vance, Kelli's youngest are only 7 months

apart. Luckily everything went amazingly smooth.

It was so much fun to see my old neighborhood and go to the same children's museum

that I went to as a kid.

The worst part as always is coming back home and missing

and getting homesick for Kelli!

She made sure to save all her crying for inside the plane.

Ha Jyn loved being around all her friends

No wonder I had so many boyfriends in High School

We told Myles that we were going to a poop

factory, but he did not buy it!
