Colorado Adventure: September 10, 2006

Bob made us a delicious pancake and sausage breakfast. The weather here was cool in the morning but warmed up pleasantly by the afternoon. Rosie and Judy took Molly, Bob and Judy's Maltese dog, for a walk in the park. Rosie was quite happy that she was able to hold Molly's leash.

We headed to Chris and April Pangburn's house nearby at noontime for a family get-together and cookout. Chris is Bob and Judy's son; he and April have 2 children, 4 year old Kate and 18 month old Tanner. Rosie had a great time with Kate—I'm not sure what they were up to all day, but it seemed to involve pretending to be dogs a lot of the time.

Chris grilled some fantastic salmon and chicken, and it was the maiden voyage of his new super-duper gas grill. We also had augratin potatoes, green beans and broccoli salad, all delicious. It was a great day and wonderful family get-together. We appreciate Chris, April, Bob and Judy for opening their homes to us. I just wish we lived closer to each other so we could do this more often.
