Our friends, the Dick family, invited us to their cabin near Laramie Peak. After spending a fun day at Douglas Water Park, we finished the final trek to the cabin....well almost.
Would you believe that we had just mentioned at the water park that the tread on the tires was getting thin??!! After ushering all the kids out of the vehicle (our 5 plus Kristy), Phil got to work.
Kayla and the older 3 girls slept on the deck.
It was a bit chilly so all the girls are buried deep in their sleeping bags. Only one eye of Kayla's is peeking out from behind the blankets.
Timothy loved the fact that he could get up and put his shoes on with his jammies!
Ahhh...what a cute couple all ready to hike Laramie Peak.
Even when it's not moving, the four-wheeler was a lot of fun.
The girls...and Tim.
Sweet, precious Savannah.
A new way of hiking.
Sarah conquers the rock.
Their property is beautiful and the kids had fun running through the open fields.
Phil spent HOURS giving rides on Dean's four-wheeler.
Kayla was especially patient giving attention to all the kiddos.
Hair styling compliments of Lindsay.
Another extraordinary up-do.

Unfortunately, the spare would not drop down like it was supposed to. After over an hour of struggling, praying and sending Matt and Kayla (who had caught up with us by this point) to make a call to Dean and Teresa , a big truck pulled up beside Phil.
In a deep voice, that seemed familiar to Phil, said, "Need a hand?" Phil responded by asking this man if his name was Mitch. He replied, "Yes, " and the next thing I heard was Phil break into a high-pitched song to jog this person's memory. Mitch recognized Phil immediately and after a hearty hug and friendly greeting, Mitch helped Phil complete the job.
Mitch was a bouncer and bartender at a bar where Phil's band played in Laramie. Now he is a sheriff in Colorado. He almost passed out when Phil told him that he was a elementary school principal! The very cool thing about all of this was God's providence in allowing Mitch to show up just minutes after Phil prayed to God asking for help (Matt, Kayla and Allie were praying the same thing in Matt's car), and then Phil being able to share this with Mitch.

Kristy is serious about her hiking duds.

Thanks Dean and Teresa! We had a super time.
