Shad Point Scotts: Above the Fruited Plains!

We just returned from a wonderful trip to Colorado Springs. Steve and his other 3 brothers and wives had a mini-family reunion over the weekend. Steve and I arrived on Friday afternoon and spent a long weekend together. We had a great time. Friday night we went to the Flying W ranch for dinner and a cowboy country musical show. Then on Saturday, we travelled on the railway up to Pikes Peak. The scenery was beautiful and well worth the hour and a half trip climbing the mountain.On Saturday evening, we all sat around on the deck and the brothers shared their memories of growing up in the parsonages in Ohio, New York and New England. Sunday we were able to worship together at Steve's brother, Alan's church where he is the pastor. On Monday, we visited the Focus on the Family campus which was very enjoyable. We especially enjoyed the walk around the "Adventures of Odyssey".

Alan and Beth entertained all of us all weekend and were great hosts! The meals and accommodations were awesome! Thanks so much to them.

It has been a busy month with a great 4th of July with Jamie's family visiting from Olathe, KS. The following weekend we travelled to Royersford, Pa. for our cousin Faryl's wedding. It was great to see some of our Andrews relatives.

This weekend we are looking forward to nothing planned. It has been a while since we've been able to just hang out at Shad Point.

Being gone for 6 days, we were unable to "web cam" with Min and the boys until this morning. I missed them so much and it was great to see and talk with them. Mindy said Luke actually asked over the weekend to talk with Guka and MeMe. This morning when Steve began the web cam, Luke asked, "MeMe, wake?" It's so much fun to know he even looks forward to hearing from us!

Well, I need to get ready to go to Praise Team practice. There is so much I could blog about but no time right now. So it will have to wait.
