Off we went with Brett and Mariann on a wee trip
Over Owl Creek Pass heading into the SawTooth Mountain Range
It was a perfect day
Full of warmth, color, good friends, and
Stunning tunnels of gold.
We traveled to the Silver Jack Reservoir
Then onto Sero Summit
Our eyes full of colors
And wonderful smells for the doggie’s noses. (Boo Berry went, and their two dogs, Abbie and Shelby)
What a marvelous day for all

What a weekend….Friday we took off for Buena Vista…we had an appointment there that had been made weeks in advance—
thinking we would take a short cut back home (and a different route) we thought we would go over Independence Pass into Aspen.
Let me tell you right here and now…never ever EVER go over Independence pass in the fall or the spring…they close it in the winter
The bottom of the pass says “If you are longer than so many feet do not attempt this pass”
I guess some people just can’t read.
This kind of driving is NOT FOR ME
The drive was beautiful snowwise, but not drivingwise, and I’m sure Aspen loved the snow.
For me…I was glad to get to DRY ground.
The next day we had to head off again!

The grandson had soccer at Aspen again. Both parents were able to go, and the youngest granddaughter went with them Because ‘There A Kids To Play WITH’.
But our oldest granddaughter wanted to stay with us.
So we baked cookies, gathered eggs, walked dogs and petted each and every kitten and cat a the shelter then after lunch we watched the Bronco game.
Because she loves to play on the monkey bars at school she wanted to show us what she could do…
Then it was time for supper and a bath, before her parents came home.
It’s a tad bit fun to have a day all to yourself with your Grandparents!

Saturday, our grandson had a soccer game in Aspen, Colorado. Our oldest granddaughter also had a soccer game, but hers was in Orchard City, Colorado, then to stretch everything just a tad bit more, our son-in-law had to work…he is the Assistant Principal at our local High School…he had to be at the high school because of volley ball games there all day.
SOOOOO enter the grandparents….we opted to take Blade to Aspen, we hadn’t been there in years and years and besides we wanted a day with Bladen. He is ten now and often times we don’t have him by himself, we get the girls by their selves, but rarely Bladen.
On the way up we stopped at the Crystal River to show him where some hot water enters the river.
Over the years people have created a fun little dam which allows for ‘dipping’ , he was delighted.
What a soccer field!!! In Aspen you are on top of Rocky Mountains.
Here is a quick shot through a very dirty windshield of some of ski slopes!
