Labor Day Weekend

Labor Day Weekend was fairly typical for the Colorado Lane's..... a lot of work and a lot of fun.



The weekend started off with Tyler's Football Game. The Falcons won 30-3. Tyler played outstanding at his Defensive End position with 3 sacks, 7 tackles and one blocked punt.
Next came Saturday, which was filled with nothing but labor. I cleaned the garage, put together a grill, did a new washer and finished up the crown molding in the kitchen and hallway.
Sunday found the kids sleeping in and Audra and I on a Motorcycle Ride, Adventure Style with plenty of dirt roads to explore and a nice couple to share the experience. Bob and Candy are locals with a similar passion to explore.

For years, Audra was highly successful at killing plants. She has found her "green thumb" lately and has the flowers blooming. We should enjoy these for another couple of weeks before the first freeze.
Bryce is getting his car ready to tow a motorcycle trailer. Bryce will be headed south to Bible School in a couple of weeks.
The last couple of years, Audra and I have enjoyed early morning launches of the Colorado Balloon Festival. This year, we sent Katie (with a friend) to the evening "Glow" event.
After 7 years of the "Colorado Pass" (Vail, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, Key Stone and A-Basin.... We decided we needed a change. This year, we pulled the trigger on a different pass, the "Rocky Mountain Pass". The RMP gives us skiing at Winter Park, Steamboat Springs, Mary Jane and Copper Mountain. Audra is ready to strap on the boots!!!!
