Weekend Update

This has been one of the longest weeks ever. At least it's felt that way. Not in a bad way or anything, but it feels like we've been here a lot longer than a week. We've established a daily routine,  park/errands in the morning, lunch/naps, then off to the rec center for swimming and water slides in the afternoon. It's a tough life we lead. We've also been introducing the kids to movies from our childhood in the evenings. So far Jumanji and Hook have been big hits.

 This weekend we drove up to Telluride for the day and it was lovely.  I rolled the window down to snap some pictures of the scenery and the kids did not know what to do with the cold air that came in. "Why is it cold!?!?!"  Being from Bako, if the sun is shinning it's hot. They could not understand why the mountain air was so chilly. It was cool enough for us Californians to wear sweat jackets all day, which was worth the drive in itself.

 So we parked at Mountain Village and rode the gondola in to Telluride. It covered several miles and the kids thought that was the reason for the drive. Peter doesn't care for posing for pictures.

 Once we got in to town we walked to the museum where the kids got to pan for "gemstones" and "fossils". They loved finding treasures. There was a cool mining exhibit that we played in for a while.

Then we hit the park for some lunch and playground time.

It was such a pretty little town. We rode the gondola back and stopped midway at the nature center, which was a total bust, but the kids were wiped out anyway so we headed home.
Sunday we went to church in a ward that was 90% old people. They had a tiny little primary, and I think it was the outlier ward. Like full of people who live 20-30 minutes out of town. So next week we'll try a different building and hopefully find some kids to play with and teenagers to babysit for us.
Week one down, weekend adventure accomplished!
