On Labor Day we went up in the mountains to Meeker Park picnic area. We had some time before Randy and Joy and boys got there, so we played some horseshoes. Our new adopted son, "Bartholomew" was with us, but he doesn't want to be pictured online. He was probably the best horseshoe player of the morning. He is living with us and going to college in Greeley, and we are enjoying him being in our family. He is giving Emily piano lessons and she is loving it!
Instead of taking pictures of all our ringers, we took pictures of the crazy landings!
We didn't know just when Randy and Joy would arrive or if they would know exactly where to find us, since there is no cell phone signal in the mountains, so Rowen had the idea to mount our large Kodak umbrella near the entrance to the picnic area. Sure enough, when Randy saw that umbrella, he knew to turn in!
Jonathan was happy to see Grandpa!
Rowen, Quil, and Micah went and got the umbrella from the entrance.
It was a beautiful day!

Randy and Joy brought homemade ice cream to crank! It was sure yummy! Randy's 28th birthday was the next day, so we enjoyed zucchini cake and ice cream in the mountains.
The boys wanted a turn to crank.

We went on up to Lily Lake near Estes Park for a hike. (Now, two weeks later, we are so glad we got to do this fun day in the mountains, because of the flooding and road damage, it will be a long time before we get to go back.)

The ones who were hiking the mountain trail looked down on those of us doing the easy hike around Lily Lake.
