Greeley, Colorado

Home of the fresh scent of cow manure :) Our trip to Colorado was really fun!! The car ride did not seem that long, maybe because we stopped about half way through to sleep for the night. The first day we got there we went mini golfing, which was a lot of fun despite my lack of skill at putt putt. Patrick enjoyed putting the balls in the holes. He was so kind as to take the balls off the green and run off with them...very helpful. He's adorable! That night we went to an italian restaurant and it was delicious! Saturday we went to the Denver zoo with the McGrath's (Megan's best friend from high school and her family). We saw all kinds of animals and we saw a polar bear attack a goose and take it to its little den to eat it...not really all that family friendly, but a pretty cool sight to see. Then we came home and ordered Mexican food that was really good. I was especially excited about the torta de tres leches because none of the Mexican restaurants in Columbia have that and I love it! Quentin loved the food, but was not a big fan of the tres leches. That's ok...more for me! Sunday we just kind of hung out and some friends of Megan and Benjamin came for dinner. Their little boy was cute and it was fun to watch him with Patrick. We played some games that night...no Moore gathering would be complete without games, right Mom? It was fun to see everyone and to meet Kirk, Kirsten's boyfriend, who was very nice. We left early Monday morning for the airport, which leads to a funny story. After we checked in and went through security at the airport, I went to the bathroom and had my license in the back pocket of my pants. When I stood up to pull my pants up, my ID fell into the toilet, which was an automatic flush, so my license is down in some sewer right now probably. Fortunately this happened after we got through security and getting a new license is no big deal, but at the time I was mortified. So, word to the wise...don't keep anything in the back pocket of your pants at the airport!
Our plane was an hour late taking off so we got into Kansas City an hour late. Michelle was nice enough to pick us up! Thanks Michelle! Then we went back to her house and Quentin helped her do something with her car. Butters had been enjoying a nice visit with the Walker's while we were gone and he seemed to have a good time! Hopefully he was not too much trouble. We're so glad we were able to leave him with someone we knew would take good care of him...it was his first time being away from home without us besides when he stays with his Grandma and Grandpa and Aunt Aliisa. We stopped by to see Nick and Colton and the girls on our way home so it was fun to see everyone. It was really just a great trip!
