Sunday Picnic in the mountains (6/6/10)
Our group, except for Rowen who was taking the picture.
On Sunday after church, we packed up our Sunday dinner and went to
Viestenz-Smith Mountain Park on State Highway 34 for a picnic with the Kaus family.
This is one of our family's favorite picnicking spots and the first mountain spot Rowen
ever took me during my first visit to Colorado in 1983. The Kauses had never been to this
spot, as it is hidden off the road if you don't know where to look. It was a beautiful day,
and we had yummy food, even though we did not take pictures of the actual picnic!
This is what the sky looked like; it always seems a deeper blue up there!
Randy and LeighAnna take a walk while Kelly, Janet, and Rowen discuss the Big Thompson flood.
LeighAnna loved the play equipment.
Jeffrey visiting with Harry Kaus.
Both Quinten and Harry love being with Jeffrey and Jason!

Rowen and I in front of the remains of the original power plant, which was destroyed in the 1976 Big Thompson Flood.
Kelly reading the informational signs about the 1976 Big Thompson Flood.
Some brave souls took a short hike!
It was an absolutely perfect day to be in the mountains!

Johnstown BBQ Day June 5, 2010
Small town celebrations! We have enjoyed/participated in Johnstown BBQ Days since we moved here in 1989. Early in the morning the first Saturday of June 1990 we were scared to death when we woke to fire engines going up and down every street with their sirens blaring and megaphones shouting "Get out of bed!" We didn't know the firemen wanted everyone to be at the fire station for breakfast; we just thought the town was on fire!! Nowadays, Johnstown has grown so much that our area of town does not get the continuous supply of sirens it used to. We can actually turn over and go back to sleep. All the years Randy and Tim were teenagers, they got up and went to the fire station to eat breakfast. Rowen has gone a few times, but I have never gone. But we don't sleep in on BBQ Day. There is always a cause to be involved in. Some years we have walked the parade in support of various candidates, but in the last 12 years or so, some in our family have either helped with the museum activities or parade entry or the parade organization itself. Randy and Tim used to love helping with the parade, and wearing STAFF shirts!
This year, Jeffrey drove the ACE float in the parade, and Rowen and I helped staff the Parish House Museum. Emily walked in the parade with other historical volunteers, and Beth and Jason took pictures.

There were booths in the park all afternoon, free tours at the Museum, duck races on the irrigation canal, a play at the high school, and the fireworks at nightfall. Plenty of stuff to do in Johnstown on BBQ Day!
