Thank you for all the times we went out on the lake, and came over to play with the kids. I've had so many great memories at your place and when you've been around. One of my favorite times I spent with you guys was when I rode out with you, Aunt Tracy and the boys to visit Kate and Josh in the summer of 2006. That looooong drive through the corn fields of Iowa and the mountains in Colorado was a great time. Seeing new sites, having fun conversations watching movies and playing Xbox in the back seat were all great times. I'm sure you'll never forget that tire on the trailer we were towing. Haha I couldn't believe it stayed on there as long as it did -- I'm just glad we made it there safely and no one got hurt. I had such a great time out there, fixing the car-port roof, sitting by the fire, hiking and going to the top of Pike's Peak. It is so beautiful out there, and I'm really happy I had the opportunity to experience it with you and the fam.
