Colorado - Day Four

Today was totally low-key for us. We had talked about driving to New Mexico, but decided that we'd rather stick close to home. We slept in a little bit. I woke up and found that I was ahead of everybody except Cole, who was sitting on the floor at the top of the stairs. He was waiting for Mike to get up and play hockey with him.

It wasn't long before everybody was up. (Thanks, Peyton!) :D We had cinnamon rolls for breakfast and the boys went outside to play hockey on the newly snow blown driveway. Sara and I decided to go out and do a few girly things. I got a hair cut - too cute!

And we stopped at Hobby Lobby. I talked Sara into letting me teach her to knit...


and, of course, she's a natural. She can knit like a pro and she can bind off.

Tomorrow I'll be teaching her how to cast on her stitches before Mike and I head for the airport in the evening.

After dinner, the first annual Western Division Dicey Tournament took place. Cole won - eeking out a victory at the last minute. Fun, fun, fun!!

Mike and I are mostly packed up with our clothes for tomorrow lain out, so that there will be no mad rush to throw everything in the suitcases tomorrow. Neither of us is quite ready to head back to Chicago and "the real world." We'd like to hang out here for a few more weeks.

But, alas, all good things come to an end and tomorrow we'll be winging our way back to the Windy City and the kitties who probably miss us. I'll be happy to see them...but I'll be counting down the days to our next vacation!
