Goodbyes and Farewell

One of the main reasons we decided to accompany Phil on this trip to Denver was to say goodbye to some good friends - The Helm family. Several years ago they moved from Casper to Denver, but now they have accepted a job offer in the Chicago area.

After Steve came and rescued me and my dead battery at Mardell's, we had an enjoyable time hanging out for the afternoon.

Allie, Sarah and Sarah opted to stay indoors most of the time and play cards.


What do you get when you add a family with 6 kids (and a neice) to a family with 5 kids in the midst of a move??? Swimming in underwear, of course!!

One of the twins - don't ask me which one - and Timothy having a squirt bottle fight.

I think Mark took this picture of Christy and I. Good job for an almost 4 year old!!

Lindsay and Jaylee had a blast on the trampoline.

And lounging in the sun.

Mark took a particular liking to Savannah. He followed her around like a little mother and she was quite content to follow his leading.
