The drive from Kansas to Boulder was beautiful. The sky seems so tangible in the absence of excess buildings, excess skyscrapers, excess cars, and excess people. The sky is pregnant with dreams and possibilities as fields of sunflowers attempt to reach the heavens. The kids count cows, horses, and cumulus clouds as we roll through Kansas and Colorado.
We are so excited to see our good friends, Lloyd and Robin. We can't believe how much Marley has grown! She's becoming such an intelligent, beautiful, talented actress/young lady. The Martins take us hiking in Chautauqua National Park ( http://www.bouldercolorado.gov/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=2996&Itemid=1035 ), swimming, and all around town. The local YMCA is where we went to the pool. It looked more like a water park to me. Okay, yes I wore a strapless dress hiking. But I did not know we were going hiking at that time. What can I say? I was a trooper. ;-)
Robin cooked the most incredibly healthy food for us and we enjoyed laughing and talking with old friends. We can't wait to return to Boulder. Robin, Marley, and Lloyd--thank you so much for your hospitality and fabulous conversation. We miss you guys already. ;-)
