Estes Park Colorado















































































I took a few days off to head to the mountains. I left last Friday afternoon and spent the weekend in Fort Collins with relatives. On Monday, my Uncle Den, and I drove to Estes Park and spent time working on my Grandmother's vacation rental home. There was plenty of work to do on the house, power washing, then brushing the wood. Then we started priming, which took two coats. Unfortunately, I didn't have enough time to stay and help with the actual painting, but we got a lot done. We also took time to do some fun things, like eat out and walk the streets of Estes Park. On Tuesday afternoon we went into Rocky Mountain National Park and walked around Bear Lake. If you are ever planning a trip to Estes Park and looking for a place to stay, here is the link to the house

Having fun at Grand Lake in N.E. Oklahoma

I had a great time at Grand Lake. We went out on the 25' boat and Boogie Boarded, and Tube'd. We tried out a couple of jet skii's Sunday morning and Niles wound up purchasing this one.

Royals Game





So, it wasn't that long ago (ok over 20 years) that the Royals won the World Series. They have had their struggles since then, but it is still really fun to go to Kauffman Stadium and watch a game. We enjoyed stadium food, including $6.25 Polish Sausage's, Nachos, Popcorn and Sunflower seeds. That's what we got to do last Saturday night. Coming into the game, the Royals had lost 12 in a row. But, we saw them win 4-2! I believe having us there helped them win, that's what fans are supposed to think, am I right?!!
