Weekend and Week

We had a great weekend! Grand Lake was very very pretty (I've got pics … they'll be posted later) and everyone we went with was great to be around. We had lots of fun. We stayed in this funky cabin called the Gingebread Cabin but, as Mike said, “It should have been called Shipwrecked.” It [...]
