Europe to Colorado


So for catch up time again, I should start with a wonderful trip we made to Germany & Switzerland in Aug/Sept to see baby Madi (Jerry & Jess of course too) It was such a great trip! Sandy (Jess' mom was so wonderful to do some guide touring with us. We went with her and Desmond to some beautiful places. We had lunch at the top of a mountain there in Kandern, where you could see 3 countries (France, Germany & Switzerland) from the top (4 - Austria -on a clear day) They were such wonderful hosts. We had the guest bedroom on the top floor and walked down to a small bakery many mornings. Poor girls who worked there had to figure out what Chuck was ordering. We got to be a part of Madi's baby dedication, and a beautiful luncheon afterwards. We also toured Lake Lucern, where I was 30 years ago with Teresa.(I've got to find my cord to upload the pictures!)

Our next trip was to Evergreen, Colorado last October. We went to the Attachment Experts Therapy Center for some good family counseling. We had hoped to go last summer, but lost our spot and went during October break. We learned so many things about ourselves and how to better get along as a family, as well as see some amazing and beautiful sights in Colorado. I'd never been, so was surprised that Denver was not the rocky mountains I had thought it was. You have to go about 20 miles away to get to the pretty stuff. One day in particular we had elk walking right infront of our cabin! Brandee joined us the 2nd week, when Kyle went home for Student Council committments.


We also went to see my cousin Tami Platt Jeppson who lives on an amazing ranch in Larkspur, CO. We had the best time catching up and getting to know our families.

We had fun days fishing and playing in the snow. Where, yah, Kyle got me good.


Jenni also met a poor little friend. She titled this one
"Does someone need a hug?"
