Pop and Mama Kaye made it here on Wednesday! Their flight went well and Mike and Landon picked them up in Albuquerque and made it here around 3:15p.m. Unfortunately, the sun has not been out since they've arrived and it's been overcast and cloudy. On Thursday, we showed them around the valley and drove up Middle Mt where there were fields and fields of dandelions. I didn't take my camera so I can't post pictures from that day but Mama Kaye did so maybe she will share them with you. Then they went to Thursday night bible study with us at church and got to meet some of the church family.
Yesterday, we all went to Silverton and Ouray which in Mama Kaye's description, were on "dangerous 2 inch mountain roads".....I wasn't sure she was going to make it but she did!! And boy, what a back seat driver she is!! Mike made her very nervous pointing out things and taking his eyes off the road. This drive is especially beautiful when snow is up there but most of the snow was gone. Also, the clouds were low and we couldn't get a good pictures with the mountains.
However, there were tons of waterfalls, big and small everywhere on the drive up so here are some pictures of it....
We ate in Ouray at the Goldmine and headed back to Durango for some downtown shopping. It has rained some but not the hard miserable rain...thank you GOD! Again today, it is cloudy but we are going to get a little canoe ride in before it starts raining......hopefully we won't end up in the icy lake!
