We said goodbye to the cabin on Monday and headed down to the Front Range. We had an 11:30 lunch meeting set with Rich and Volyn York, our good friends from Boise, who were passing through Castle Rock.
It was wonderful to see their kids, Georgie and Clint, who are getting so big! We all went back to their hotel after lunch and the kids swam while we all visited.
We then went to the Malotte's house in Sedalia (west of Castle Rock). They live on 5acres of high live oak groves overlooking a valley towards the foothills. The boys had a great time messing around in the yard with Molly, the golden retriever, and swinging on the hammock. Zac tossed his flip flop into a grove of trees as he got on the hammock. Seth worriedly exclaimed,"Mom! Zac threw his shoe into the WILDERNESS! What are we going to do?"
We found the flip flop and didn't have to break out the emergency pack of matches and the lean-to.
After dinner, the boys went out with Cousin Ben and his remote control truck, which he graciously let them play with (supervised!) for a while.
After the boys went to bed, the five adults sat out on the deck with the chimnea, visitng and enjoying the incomparable night air of Colorado.
