~Aspen

We had a wonderful day in Aspen today.  Ward had several workers

he needed to check on so we all went along.  While we waited we played

racketball, walked around the property, went to a wonderful

resturant downtown,  then came home.  The resturant was different from

anything we have ever been to.  Ward's boss recommended it for us. 

We tried new menu items, which were a little scary but wonderful!

What a wonderful day full of memories.

Aspen

Our second day with Carey and her family we headed to Aspen. We were heading up there to see Ward's job and show off a part of Colorado they had never seen. The drive was beautiful like always and the best part for me was getting to see Ward in the middle of the day!! The girls loved being able to wear hard hats, they were disappointed when they had to give them back. We weren't able to spend much time with Ward because he was headed into a meeting, so we hung around the parking lot playing ping pong and checking out a huge plastic ball. The girls loved climbing inside the ball. It was too long of a drive to turn around and head back home so we stopped got ice cream and headed to our favorite park. The kids had a great time playing at the park and running around. We couldn't be at a beautiful park and not take lots of pictures. I was taking pictures of the girls with Carey when the girls decided to take pictures of Carey and I. It was very entertaining! Both girls told us where to stand, how to stand, to keep our eyes open, to smile bigger, where to look, we couldn't stop laughing!! Now I know how I sound to them!

~A Day In The Life~

While my parents were in town we headed to Aspen to see Ward and what he was up to at work. He has started a new remodel job in downtown Aspen. He was so busy, with so much going on. There were lots of workers around, a jackhammer tearing up the cement in the basement, a little bobcat loading a dumpster then being lifted out of the basement by way of a crane! It was so fun to see all the excited of a new job. It was fun for the girls and I to watch all the action and work being done. It was great to hear all that will be done in the year. It is hard to believe they can completely remodel this two story building and add a penthouse on top. With an amazing view from the top of the building which will be the view for the people who will be living their by the end of the year. The energy was alive, so much going on, very little time to stop and visit. We spent time in Ward's office out of the noise and cold but still able to watch all that was going on. We were able to see the final product from all the drawings on the walls. It will be fun not only to watch but hear all that is going to transform this building!
