Colorado Activities

We had a great time just relaxing and taking in the local sites. The weekend we were there was "Covered Wagon" days celebrating the heritage of the area. There was even a local parade. You know it's a small town when the "floats" are flatbeds with crepe paper and there are 5-10 people in the graduating class in town for their reunion. But the participants threw candy which was our favorite part.

After the parade there was a gathering at the local park with a band, food and of course the hot rod display. This is Ken's dream car-1965 Camaro

We went shooting in the afternoon, this was Paige and Lexi's first time so there was a gun safety lesson before we began.

It had been a long time since I had been shooting and I surprised Ken and Taylor that I actually could hit the broad side of a barn.

Paige shooting a 9mm Walther. The girls were both good shots and were proud to actually hit the targets.

We got one last picture before Ken's sister Karla had to head home. We took off and went to church from there.
