Thankful Thursday

Now that we are back from our month long vacation, I have to say the thing I am most sincerely thankful for this Thursday is to be back in my own home.  There is something quite liberating about choosing your own meals - even if it was nice to not have to cook over the past month.  The next series of posts will be about our trip. 

Firstly, I am most grateful to have been able to see these guys. The Triplets drove out to see us in Colorado and spent a few days with us when we first arrived.

One of the days they visited we took a trip to Estes Park in Colorado.  We walked around the shops, went to lunch and then decided to test our palates on one of Colorado's famous foods.  Here is our disastrous foray into Rocky Mountain Oysters.

 I think Shannon's face says it all.  We wont be recommending them anytime soon.  Luckily we had delicious cookies on hand for right afterwards.

The kids were saved from having to try the oysters.  They blissfully enjoyed their cookies and played by the river. 

Appropriately enough, we saw this sign on our way back.  Fortunately, we did not stop to enquire.

Overall, it was a delightful visit and a wonderful way to start our vacation.  I am thankful to have been able to see our dear old friends again after over 2 years.  More pictures to come of other vacation debaucheries.
