Sunday, November 8 – Hockey Game and Travel Day

We were up, dressed, and out the door by 9:50am. We were going to watch Gage in his 1st hockey game.

He plays in a league for 6-8 year olds, I am sure that the other team were mostly 8, while most of Gage’s team (Panthers) were 6. The other team was much bigger then Panthers and played much better. They do not keep score when these teams play, so there really isn’t a winner or loser, but I the other made many goals and I don’t think we made any.

No matter they had a good time and we all had a blast watching them.

Gage had quite an audience, there were 17 people there to watch Gage. There were parents, step parents, grandparents, step grandparents, soon to be step grandparent, sibling, cousins and Aunt Beth.

Once the game was over, Beth’s family and us went to Subway to have lunch. Here is Colt wearing his Dad hat, he has a big head and it almost fits.

After we got back home Jesse and I packed up and left. It was suppose to rain again tonight or in the morning and we didn’t want to have to deal with the mud.

So at 3:00pm we pulled out and drove 35 miles to Pueblo West. This is not the shortest trip we have ever made. Once we traveled 12 miles to a new site.

We are in Pueblo West Camp Ground and Arena. It is attached to a horseman's arena. We are in a pull through with full 50 amp hook-up for $25 a night.

It took us only about 30 minutes to set up, which was a good thing because it was dark in no time. I heated up leftovers and made a salad for dinner.

We just watched our Sunday night shows and relaxed for the evening.

Friday, November 6 – More Organizing

Jesse was up again early to get the grandkids off to the school bus, I stayed in bed a little longer this morning. I awoke at 4am and couldn’t get back to sleep, so I was moving slow.

Jesse extended the shelf in the washer closet and put another shelf in one of our other cabinets. It helps to keep thing organized.

Colt played outside with his ATV again until he got it stuck in the mud. Then he walked in the mud and got covered in mud. Grampy got upset with him and he didn’t like that.

For dinner Jesse grilled some chicken and I baked some white and sweet FF potatoes that I covered with olive oil and 1/2 a package of onion soup. I also served green beans.

After dinner we all sat and watched the original movie “Night at the Museum”.

It was a nice day. Beth and DJ return tomorrow and we have plans to go out to dinner with Adam and Kim.

Thursday, November 5 – Riverwalk – Lunch with Adam

 

Jesse was up and out early this morning. He took Ryan and Kacie to school then he went to the Dodge dealership to have some maintenance on the truck.

He had oil, oil filter, air filter,and fuel filter changed, tires rotated and brakes inspected. He then went to a junk yard to find a license plate light that he lost some time ago and a passenger seat belt. They didn’t have either. He will try again when we are in Texas.

He also stopped by a car wash and gave the truck a greatly needed wash.

While he was gone Colt and I had breakfast and got dressed. He came back to the house to get us and we went into town.

Our 1st stop was to take the library books back. They have a drive up book deposit, so we didn’t need to go in.

We were early to meet Adam for lunch so we walked around the riverwalk area. Here are some pictures of downtown Pueblo.

After we did our walking around we met Adam for lunch. He had just gotten off work for the day as he is back on light duty. Doesn’t he look handsome in his dress uniform?

We went to the Golddust Bar and Grill he said they had the best hamburgers in Pueblo. Jesse said it was good but the the best he ever had, but wasn’t sure WHERE he had gotten the best.

After lunch I had a nurse appointment to have my blood pressure taken. It was better then the other day and the new blood work was also better and I lost 2 1/2 pounds.YEA!! I hadn’t mentioned it before, but I went on a diet last Friday. Wish me luck I have a long way to go.

While downtown we saw this shop and of course thought of Joe and Sherri.

Afterwards we were on to Lowes. Colt had not had a nap so guess what he did?

I waited in the truck while Grampy did the shopping so he could sleep some.

Once back home Colt wanted to ride his ATV and he wanted me to take pictures of him. First he had to put the seat back on.

After Kacie came home she and Colt played while I made dinner. Everyone had Sesame Chicken except me I had a Smart One for dinner.

We all relaxed and watched TV for the evening until bed.
