Today Brian and I headed to the CO School of Mines to spend time with Laura, Ian, and Amy. And I have to tell you, that is one beautiful place to have fun! It seemed like the whole town of Golden came out to watch the cardboard boat races along Clear Creek. I guess the rule was someone from each boat had to cross the finish line with at least one piece of cardboard, and in some cases even that was difficult. Only a few boats made it downstream fully intact! The creek was ice cold, but spirits were high and everyone involved had fun. It was so much fun to people/dog watch, too. Made me wish our beagle had been there too, although I doubt "Princess Annie" would have loved the cold water as much as the other dogs did. She's had a pretty pampered life. After the boat races and lunch we headed to the intramural field to watch some "geeky fun." My favorite was the trebuchet...a huge catapult that flung milk jugs full of water thru the air at the imaginary "castle" made of cardboard boxes. It really was a fun day. I think anytime my college aged kids want BA and me to hang out with them, I'm going to jump at the chance. I'm just flattered they don't mind being seen with us!
People have been asking about Amy, and I'm happy to say she seems pretty good. Her neck still hurts, but she's doing well and has a great attitude. She's so happy to be back at school and already has fun stories to tell about her first 2 days back in labs. Hopefully any news from here on out will be culinary related instead of health related.
Bethany and Brian just took off to get in some driving time. She only has 3 more street sessions with Masterdrive before it's up to us to help her get her driving hours in. Before you know it, she'll be driving us all over town. She's doing a great job and has already "claimed" Brian's VW Jetta as her own. Hmmm. Guess it doesn't hurt to dream!
Have a great weekend...enjoy the sunshine...give thanks for the gift of another awesome day.
