Easter 2015



 Mom and Dad Barry joined us for a visit over Easter weekend.  It was a good visit and we were happy to have company over the Holiday!  We had dinner to celebrate Jesse finishing his master's work at The Big Horn restaurant on Sat.

Got up early on Easter morning for the community Son Rise Service (all the Christ centered churches get together and join as one to celebrate the resurrection...how cool is that?)

Went Squatch hunting, but did not find Big Foot or his booty.  Since the Family didn't do so hot on the Big Foot scavenger hunt the town puts on, I made up our own scavenger hunt around the yard.

Easter Brunch
The last day we spent snow shoeing in the park, where mom fell over several times and Jesse fell into a frozen stream (thankfully no one got hurt or too cold - just fun memories!)  We also spent a free night at the YMCA and enjoyed mini golf amongst the deer, a game of H-0-R-S-E, pasta dinner, s'mores, and a free breakfast before saying our goodbyes.

THANKS FOR VISITING!  IT IS ALWAYS GREAT TO SEE YOU!!

"Its fun to stay at the YMCA"

Dog Sledding at SMR


During our off season at the Park, we have been working at the Y and it has been a very good fit for so many reasons...

For one reason, look at all that food--and that is just one days worth of finds!!  Winter at the YMCA has definitely helped our food bill out...it is crazy what people leave behind (too bad for them, wonderful for us)

BUT more importantly than the food are the wonderful friendships we have made from all over the world.  These people are what make are job enjoyable and it has been sad saying goodbye over the last month as their summer break ended and it was time to head back home.  Tears were shed, but memories will stay with us...and my goodness do we have good memories!!

A new group of internationals have started working and it has been good getting to know them.  I am sure this won't be the last of my blogs about the YMCA, but for now these are just a few of the many pictures. 
 
WE MISS YOU OUR FRIENDS!!  YOU ARE WELCOME BACK TO ESTES ANY TIME...OUR HOME IS NOW YOUR HOME. THANKS FOR ALL THE MEMORIES
