Day 6 - bring on the family and extreme golf

What better way to start the morning than with BREAKFAST pizza from the local gas station.  Alex raved about it and we HAD to get 2 for the team.  We popped over to their home to enjoy it all together.
It was great to walk with them in the area.  They have 2 sweet dogs - Penny and Walter - the best personalities!  We walked down to the Colorado for more rock throwing and even a little time in the water to cool off!

They had some great free range chickens that we got to hang out with too.  It was so nice to get the chance to see there slice of life.
Back at the camp ground - look what the boys spotted - Yup!  taht means Aunt Louise and Uncle Ken are here!  Throw in some of our cousins - Matt, Jeff and Linsey too.  Its a full camp ground!
My sister and family came in from Denver (they flew in late last night and stayed closer to Denver to get some sleep)  as soon as they got to us Jason headed out with Chris, Nick, Shane and Dad to explore a pretty unique golfing opportunity.  They were in AWE and if you have an appreciation for golf you gotta watch this video.  You might be a bit of motion sickness - but hold tight and check it out.  It was hot - super dry - Shane got a blister and than stung by a bee!  pour kiddo!



Meanwhile back here we had sandwiches for the crew.  Than at some point the lever to flush the toilet was stuck and got left on.  There is nothing cool about this.  I went in to find the water flowing over the toilet and out the trailer.  No what?  Remember when I said we weren't hooked up to a sewer drain line?  Yup, no way to clear that out.  Well, not really a fun way to clear it out.  I spotted a 5 gallon bucket that might be helpful.  My sister was kind enough to offer help.  Chris thought it would be just the auxiliary tank.  Mostly water.  Tried that.  Still wont flush (or rather filled to the top)  We knew it wasn't the grey water......  therefore we (I) needed to address the black water.  Now to 'fill' the bucket enough that you can carry it to 'dump' it.  Lets just say there are some very fertilized weeds nearby. BLAH!  DONE.  Thank you Stacie - #memorable.
Now to 'clean off' a little beach entry to the Colorado river.

Here are some other photos of the crew cooling off.  The water was VERY refreshing.
We walked into Glenwood to check out an adorable little Mexican restaurant and loved finding these wings everywhere in the city.


Loved this capture of Riley grabbing Oma Sue's hand - treasure.
They get to move in!  Everyone has a cabin (with AC) on this cute row.  They are so pumped!
