My parents came to visit us in Fort Collins this past week for the first time. My mom wasn't feeling well and slept a good bit of the trip, but we were still able to get out and do a few fun things while they were here.
First up, we took my parents up to Horsetooth Reservoir. As always, the views were amazing!
On Saturday, we rode over to Cheyenne, Wyoming to see the Gunslingers, which is a reenactment of a Wild West shootout. This was my parents' first time to Wyoming; it's pretty cool that I got to show it to them.
Jake was asked to participate in a trick from the cowboy; they passed hot coal between his ears.
The cowboys used blanks for the show, but they were still super loud. Oh, and you see that white rope, the kids weren't supposed to pass those ropes for safety reasons. You'll never guess who decided to make a run for it and test out the white rope...Anderson. I had a mini heart attack as I chased him down. Mother of the year.
To be honest, the show was pretty boring. They did way too much talking and not enough shooting. My parents got to see Cheyenne, though, and "real cowboys" as my Dad said.
We did get a chance to walk around and eat some yummy food, though. :)
My Dad's 73rd birthday is right around the corner, so we decided to surprise him after church on Sunday with cake and presents. He loved his SpongeBob cake. :)
The boys loved surprising him. Anderson was just ready for a nap, though. Hahaha.
Towards the end of their trip, we took mom and dad back to Horsetooth, but this time, we went to the bottom of the Reservoir and to the other side of the mountain.
It was such a gorgeous day. I really wish we could've been out on a boat in that water!
Tyson got a few hours off that day and was able to join us. :)
I think mom and dad really enjoyed their trip. We LOVED having them and showing them our new digs!
