Colorado Trip

BYU had a scheduled game at Colorado University in Boulder this year, so we decided it was time to visit Nathan and Benazir and their kids.  We drove through the night arriving late Thursday night.  On Friday, we did a gorgeous hike in Chautauqua park. 

 Afterwards, we got ice cream cones and let the kids play at a park.  That night Nathan made us a nice steak dinner and Benazir made yummy pesto potatoes.  The boys had fun playing computer gamnes with their cousins.  

Saturday, we have the most delicious pastries made by a Michelin chef from France.  Then, we played at another park and went to a pumpkin patch.  We all found our way through a huge corn maze (except Nathan- he couldn’t figure it out).  We rode a little wagon ride around the patch.  

That night, Derek and the kids went to the BYU football game. It was a close exciting game, they loved getting to see Ralphie the Bison run the field.  The Watkins came out for the game too and had seats close by.  

I stayed back with the nephews and played hide n seek, got some good baby snuggles, and Daniel read me Dog Man.  In the morning Benazir made us some delicious French Toast and then we headed out on the drive home.  We drove on I70 which was a gorgeous drive through canyons and near the Colorado river.  We got to see tons of gorgeous fall leaves starting to change color.  I don’t remember ever driving through this portion of freeway so it was so fun.
