Jeff took the kids to the pool while I worked on dinner. Tonight, we had grilled chicken, potatoes with rosemary roasted in foil packets on the grill, and tossed salad. My treat was a few bottles of Breckenridge Brewery's SummerBright Ale, the beer I first had at the brewery before the baseball game. We found it in the liquor store by the grocery store in Bennett, the next town over from where we're camping.
The name of the grocery store is King Soopers. Weird. But it was a nice grocery store - and huge.
While I was grilling and the kids were drying off from the pool, some campground employees came by in a golf cart asking if the kids wanted to ride on a "super soaker hay ride" tonight. Ruth and Henry were in! The employees gave Jeff and I water balloons to throw when the hayride came by.
The kids had a ball. Not only did people throw water balloons, some turned their campsite hoses on and blasted the kids when they went by. Henry and Ruth loved it and want to do it again tomorrow night.
The campground has a frozen marble slab to mix cookies and candy into ice cream, so for dessert tonight, the kids went and got some. Ruth got mint chocolate chip with gummy bears and Henry got chocolate ice cream with marshmallows mixed in.
The weather cooled off enough to make for perfect lounging outside. There weren't any mosquitoes like last night, but we had a citronella candle and bug spray just in case. The only negative were the flies that thought our dinner looked delicious. The kids had fun using the fly swatter trying to kill them. The last count I remember from Jeff was 26 flies he had killed.
Everyone is is bed now, and I should be too. Tomorrow morning we're headed out to Golden, Colorado to drive the Lariat Loop. It's a driving tour that will take about two hours, going through the Rockies and stopping at historic markers and scenic overlooks. Jeff did the research to find it and I think it will be great. It's time to get up in the mountains!
