Subtitled: Ten Grandkids!
Sunday evening July 8, 2012 (Second travelogue of this trip).
We have been home since 1:00 PM on Thursday. I have stayed in “vacation mode” for the past few days (AKA being lazy).
This family vacation was a bit different from past ones. We all took it pretty easy and did not try to cram a bunch of activity into the week. Pat and I were the most laid back of the group. I got to catch up on a lot of reading and Pat got to have a lot of special time with the grandkids (to be clear, we both enjoyed our time with all the family members).
It was so fun to have Irina, Matthias and Viktor with us. Viktor is so friendly and even though he had no idea what we were saying, he found fun ways to communicate with us. Pat and I got to spend a lot of time talking to Matthias about the medical practice in Germany vs the US.
The weather continued to be pretty good. The evenings were cool (down to 44 degrees one night) and the days were not too hot. We only ran the AC in the bus one day. We did have a bit of rain and some pretty good winds at times but it would be hard to complain about the weather considering all the terrible hot weather and flooding in other parts of the country.
The terrible drought in Colorado forced cancellation of many fireworks shows on the fourth. That included both the Dillon and Frisco shows.
Now, lets talk about 10 grandkids. Those of you know us, know that we have 8 “natural” grandkids. However, we claim and love two additional grandkids: Austin (the Jeute's have legal guardianship) and Viktor (we consider Irina and Matthias as part of our family). I have attached a photo of that wonderful group taken at our campground.
Our ten very special grandkids!
That is all for this trip.
