Ft. Collins Fun...

Adam and I had the chance to go to Ft. Collins, Colorado(Adam's hometown) this past weekend for a couple of reasons.

1. We were attending a celebration of life for Adam's high school history teacher's wife who passed away from cancer.

2. We got to visit Adam's mother (Vicki) and brother (Matt).

I never had the chance to see Adam's hometown before we got married so I was excited to do so. We had a blast!! It was a very short trip, just a weekend but it was better then nothing. We took Nala with us and she had a great time as well. She did amazing on the 7 hr car ride, hardly made a peep. We didn't get there until almost 11 at night on Friday the 16th. We stayed up and visited with Vicki for awhile before going to bed. We woke up the next morning and before heading to the celebration of life we went on a walk on the Spring Creek Trail to Epic park. There was a playground at the park we stopped to play and since we had taken a Frisbee with us we had fun throwing it around to have Nala catch. There was also a set of swings so I had a great time swinging. After the fun park we left Nala with Vicki and headed to the celebration of life in Wellington just a town over from Ft. Collins. It was nice and Adam got to see his high school teacher that he hadn't seen for years and a couple of people from his graduating class. It started raining as soon as the program began and it was held outside so I was glad we had an umbrella. After the program we met Vicki in Old Town Ft. Collins at a restaurant called Bisetti's for lunch it was kinda like Olive Garden here in UT only a lot smaller. It was delicious!! After that the rain stopped and we went around Ft. Collins seeing all the things that mean a lot to Adam. I got to see his old house where he grew up and the swing set his dad made for him and his siblings growing up. I got to see the wetlands where he did his eagle scout project, the field he used to play in as a kid, the paper route he used to do with his bro's, the playground he helped build at his elementary school. We met up with his bro Matt and his girlfriend Ashley during our outing and ended up back in old town Ft. Collins at a place called Coopersmith's pub and brewery, there was an hour wait to eat there so we walked around and ended up getting ice cream from Blue Bell's it was yummy! Matt and Ashley wanted to go to see the puppies at the mall so we went with them and saw the cute puppies. We found a cool game store in the mall so Vicki bought us the game called Pit. We got come dinner at one of Adam's favorite places called Big City Burrito. We then went home and played games. Adam had some homework to do and Vicki had a lesson for church to prepare for so Nala and I chilled while they did that. The next morning before leaving for home we went on another walk on the Spring Creek trail only this time we went the other direction we stopped at a baseball diamond to let Nala off leash to run around. Vicki had church at 12:30 so we left to go home at the same time she left for church and soon were home. Nala did great again on the way home and was pooped from all the activity so she slept most of the way.

It was great to re-open that chapter in Adam's life and to see all the things that are so near and dear to him. I hope we get to go back again this year!!
