Christmas Letter 4 of 6 Posts

During another of Mike's work trips, we all went with him including Shae’s niece, Kim—so it was 6 people to Colorado for 16 days. Whew, that was a lot of packing, but we had a nice time. Mike worked the first week, and then we were able to go on to Silverthorne which included Breckenridge founder’s days. The kids got to pan for gold, ride a donkey, practice their roping skills, and pet a wolf (well ½ wolf anyway). We also went to Estes Park/Rocky Mountain National Park and CO Springs where we took the Cog Railway up Pike’s Peak, played at Whit’s End at Focus on the Family, hiked at the Garden of the Gods, visited Glen Eyrie Castle, and ate at Solo’s Restaurant--known as the Airplane restaurant to the kids since you can eat inside a real airplane.
