For the past month or so my dad and my moms friend Donna have been going back and forth on coming up to colorado for a visit. Finally on Wednesday they decided to come up! YEAH!
Friday we met up in Denver (Donna, dad, me, mom, and Laura) and went out to dinner together at a restaurant that Laura liked and thought would work for everyone. It was an Italian restaurant. Well it was too spicy for me :( which I am getting slightly used to by now. Not exactly having any fun with it, chocolate doesn't taste the same anymore. I'll eat just a little bit of it and end up saying to myself "well that wasn't worth it :/ "
My Dad is very adventurous although you might not be able to notice it just looking at him. He still rides roller coasters even the ones that go upside down, he has all these projects that he dreams up, he comes up with his own games to teach us. He likes bikes, and this is where the story comes in. While we were at the Smith's their two sons and a neighbor kid decided to make bike ramps and my dad decided he wanted to try it too. So picture this, a 6 foot 2 inch man on a bike made for an 8 year old. Funny already right? To cut to the chase they built a ramp up onto the trampoline and my dad tried to give it a go. He's an entertaining one, he is!
I think my favorite part while my dad was here was when we went on a walk together and just talked. I miss him a lot and it was so good to get to be there right along side him.
It was also really fun because I brought up a puzzle and we all put it together. I like puzzles and I need to get something because I can't leave a puzzle on our kitchen table for a week slowly working on it.
Sunday we went to church in Lakewood to meet up with some friends of mine from Fort Collins who have moved to the Denver area. We were going to fix them lunch after church and they were going to meet us up there. Well I like to talk to people so after I told Sara and Michael good bye I started talking to Kelsey's mom and the preacher in the lobby. After awhile I noticed that there was no body else in the church besides us and another man. I tried calling but none of them would answer. I felt like a child lost in a grocery. Thankfully Kelsey's mom gave me a ride up to the Smith's house, and even made it there before my dad and Laura did!
Dad if you are reading this, LOVE YOU BEAT YOU!
It was hard to say goodbye :*( See you at Christmas!
Chocolate hasn't been the same for me lately, either. Do you like cinnamon-y things? I've taken a liking to molasses cookies, chai, and other sweet stuff.
ReplyDeleteJeff and I have the same problems with puzzles. We have to get little ones, cause we just have the card table to have a puzzle on or to eat at. :)
