Fire Week #1

Hi there!  My brother, JC, carefully collected all the photos from all the relatives and we are now ready to share our first week of activities after escaping the flames.  Everyone reacts differently in stressful situations and I, SM, chose to spend most of the week awake.  Here I am at the Residence Inn North in ABQ thanks to their manager, Clyde.  Their mattresses were serviceable.  And as luck would have it, Gram flew in to ABQ the next day!
 Here is how M and JC handled the stress...
 Right outside our window was the truck for a race car driver with the best name in sports - Will Power.  It's his name, he drives in the Indy Car Circuit, and you can look it up on Alta Vista.  B saw him at the pool - she says that he could have been taller.
After Will Power left, the lab closed for the rest of the week. With that news, we packed up Mini and headed for the verdant hills of Denver where Uncle B and Aunt K live.  Guess who showed up for the weekend!  Pops!  He made an appearance, but not really an inspired one...


Uncle B and Aunt K took us to Fun Fest - a celebration of Buckley Air Force Base, America, and inflatable jump houses.  Here we are eating our lunch catered by Qdoba!  Someone teach my dad how to smile.

 They had bouncy horses...
 Sports...

 and a long slide...


What a fun week!  Next time is Fire Week #2.
