Danny and Amy came to Colorado to visit everyone before
Danny went on his deployment. While they
were here we were lucky enough to steal some of their time. Ben and Danny had been planning for month's
to do a backpacking trip when Danny got out here but nothing was getting
planned. They were going to leave
Thursday but didn't, Friday morning Ben got out of the house by 10 but they
didn't leave the Gibson's until around 3 and around 8 I got a text from Ben (he
should have been out of range by then) saying that Danny forgot his sleeping
bag and they were going to stay in a hotel... what?
Here is what really happened, Danny decided
that he didn't really want to camp but instead have a relaxing, no time no
rush, guys weekend. They left late,
spent time walking around camping stores, went fishing (caught 0), explored the
flood damage, got some delicious cinnamon rolls, ate out, caught a street concert
in Ft Collins, couldn't find a hotel and ended up staying with Amy and the
girls at the Roundy's house. The next
day they slept in, had a donut breakfast, went fishing (caught 6), tried to
cook the fish but caught the faulty camping stove on fire(after trying to fix it with tape) , went back to the
Roundy's to cook and eat their catch! They had a lot of man fun and enjoyed
their weekend of glamping. (Oh and the truck wouldn't start so they ripped off
the dash and jimmied a knife into it- man stuff).
The next Monday (July 14) Ben and I drove down to Loveland for Smash
Burger and park playing with Amy and the girls. We went to a cool park with an
awesome splash park (Elizabeth is still not into those), a huge shaded sandbox
(whoever thought of shading it was genius) and a great play ground. The play ground was so cool that Danny and
Ben decided to do it as an obstacle course. Ben said it was so fun and Danny
said it was no big deal- Marine's do that all the time...didn't you know? We
ended the afternoon with cupcakes! As always, it was so much fun to see them!
