Weekend trip to CO

Labor Day Weekend

CO Springs and Ft Collins

Colorado

We found out that Fort Collins was having an open house for their new temple over Labor Day weekend.  Since it wasn't too bad of a drive, and we wanted to take the kids to show them, we called and made a group reservation for us to go.  We drove up and stayed with the Amsden family in CO Springs which was so much fun!  On Saturday we went to check out the Olympic Training Center.  It was really cool to see where so many of the athletes train on a scholarship basis.  Since the summer olympics just happened, there weren't very many athletes actually there training--most of them were taking a break.  But it was still awesome to see the facilities they use.

Sunday we just went to church, had homemade pizza and watched Seven Brides for Seven Brothers in the Amsden's big movie room.  

Monday we drove up to Fort Collins for the temple open house.  Bennett said, "We are going to the temple and we will see Jesus!"  We didn't see Jesus, but we certainly felt his spirit.  It was beautiful and such a great opportunity to share that experience with our kids.   And very fun to go together with our friends!
