On to Cherry Creek!

On our way across Wyoming, we saw lots of:

There wasn’t much to do but take pictures!

There were several of these signs:

Followed by these signs:

And in case you missed your signs, there are gates that close when the weather is bad enough to close the interstate!

But after 2 days across Wyoming, we crossed the state line:Ellie 034

Uh-oh, this doesn’t look as calm as our spot along the Boulder River!

But around noon yesterday we escaped the traffic of Denver into the wonderful Cherry Creek State Park campground located close to the home of some of our very favorite people!

Here they are with me: Calib, Elyse, Kellie and Cameron – our 4 grandchildren who live here in Aurora.

I picked them up at their house and brought them to our place for a pizza dinner followed by a walk on the nearby swim beach,

then back here for a rousing game of Mexican Train.  We didn’t finish the game, but when we called it a night, Calib was trouncing the rest of us!

We have a couple more days here to enjoy some fun with the kids before continuing our journey to Colorado Springs.

We really enjoy Cherry Creek State Park. My sister lives in Denver, so we stop there on our way to our son in Carbondale, CO. Enjoy your visit with your grandchildren.

Have fun with the grandkids! I think maybe we'll have to visit that state park when we get to Colorado later this year.

Miss you guys!

Oh how we envy you your time with the grands - enjoy every moment!

We've heard so much about that park, but we didn't even get NEAR Denver when we came through - deliberatly :)
