We walked around our hotel to take in the beautiful scenery and it was breathtaking. Of course I used it as a photo opportunity and took several pictures of Craig with his parents.
We went fishing in Leadville, where Craig lived for a short time. Craig and his Dad did most of the fishing, but Julia did a little too and they each caught one fish.
Two of the fish they caught did not make it as they swallowed the bait and it got caught, but we threw them out in the water and watched the birds catch them.

The car ride to Leadville was beautiful so we stopped for some pictures
After our fishing adventure Craig, Julia and I went to dinner at Bin 48 in Beaver Creek. Craig's parents were tired so they stayed at our hotel. After dinner we watched the movie Mother's Day. It might be one of the worst movies I have ever seen.
The last night we stayed in Westminster (where Craig grew up), which is a suburb of Denver. On our drive to Denver we stopped and did the Alpine Slide. You take a chair lift up the mountain and then go on individual slides that have a lever to let you go fast or slow. I went as fast as I could go and had a blast. Craig and Julia had a great time too. We all went down 3 times.
The mountain we rode down, but it's much, much higher than it looks.

Craig's old friend Patrick lives in Denver and we still keep in touch with his daughter Katelyn. We had not see her for about 7 years and she has grown up so much. She has turned into such an amazing women. She's sweet, funny, smart and beautiful. We had so much fun catching up with her. She'll be a senior in high school next year.
The last night we met Craig's brother Paul and two of his daughter's, Nicole and Melissa, and Melissa's son Ezekiel (Zekey is his nickname), his wife Pat and her other daughter. We had Mexican food and had a great time visiting with them.
