Time in Louisville

It is amazing how you can fill your time when you aren’t doing anything. For a couple of days, we filled our time around Louisville and at home. We finished opening gifts on Tuesday morning and Marshall made pancakes for breakfast. We then went for a breezy hike up on the mesa. We basically had the trail to ourselves besides the cattle grazing on the mesa enjoying the 60 degree weather with us. 

Jim and I both had the great idea to go to Sweet Cow after the hike for ice cream. Unfortunately, there was no peppermint ice cream, but I survived. 

Angie came up for Colorado Springs for dinner and we enjoyed take out Indian thanks to Jim and Michelle. We also introduced Angie to Klask. It was very nice to see her and we were all glad she was able to come up. She also brought the boys and their cousin ornaments that were Kristin’s which means a great deal as so many of the ornaments the boys enjoy hanging on the tree every year are from Kristin and Angie. 

On Wednesday, some of us walked around Louisville on “my loop” and we busied ourselves with another puzzle, some grocery shopping, playing frisbee and more games. We ditched the turkey dinner for afternoon wings and then fondue dinner - both were delicious. 

The snow moved in during late afternoon and D-man got stuck in the mountains unfortunately. His brother and cousin took advantage of the snow for a late night sledding outing. It was a lot of snow, but wow, was it beautiful.
