We spent a week in Denver / Aurora with Beth and Bob over Christmas. The 12/20 plane flight was elongated by weather moving through the Atlanta area; we sat on the ground in Orlando for 45 minutes and then flew in a circle north of Orlando because of the queued planes over Atlanta. Had 3 hours between flights so that worked out well. We got into Denver an hour late - midnight! - and then waited an hour for our luggage, so we hit the sack after 2 AM Mt. time...long day!The weather was cold, but no snow. Beth and Bob had a nice activity list for us. We saw the Colorado Ballet production of The Nutcracker, which was outstanding. We visited the Denver Zoo and saw 
the Christmas lights. We went to the 4 PM Christmas eve service at Colorado Community Church. On Friday we drove to Winter Park and went tubing in the afternoon and had a sleigh ride at night. Beth even gave us a "special" scenic drive in Winter Park which allowed us to meet some really nice young men with a 4-wheel drive pickup! And in between these activities, lots of good catching up with the kids which made a thoroughly delightful week.

Friday night during the sleigh ride the temp was -5 degrees. We landed in Orlando to 74 degree temps and 
had to open up the house because it was stuffy!

Sounds like you had a wonderful time! I keep up a little bit with Beth and Bob as they post things on the facebooks, but I hadn't heard that you were headed out that way. Makes for kind of a whirlwind for you, rather than a break from school, I suppose, but I'm sure it was terrific to spend some time with them! Love you both. Lynda
Hey, nice pictures on your blog! Beautiful country out there. Looks like you had a great time!
We enjoyed Christmas morning and day at Carmen's and Steve's. What a joy to experience Christmas with a 3 yr. old again!! He sang all of his songs for us that they did in preschool!! With the actions of course! Enjoy the rest of your vacation.
