Colorado - Memorial Day 2014

Memorial Day Colorado trip.  
We went out to paint and install electrical in the cabin.  The BIG news was that there was now a toilet!  Best news ever!  After camping in the cabin for almost 3 years it has arrived in the 20 century with running water!  Once we got there we added a sink.  Another fantastic improvement!


Beautiful, just beautiful!


While we worked and worked we had to have a little fun.  And of course, my jeep is perfect for that.



Glorie, a friend came along with us to Colorado to help with the 7 kids we had between the Bainums and us.


We painted and painted and painted.


I have blisters on my hand from holding a paint brush.


Glorie even chipped in.





Alan decided to join us at the last minute.  He is always a favorite with the kids, and his help was greatly appreciated.



We achieved light!  Another huge improvement!  See the lantern on the left?  Soon we will no longer need it!


Unfortunately a round of sickness went through the families.  Glorie suffered the most and was down for 2 days.


The last evening we went into town for dinner and the girls played the piano.  They got $2 in tips!

The kids got the great idea to stalk deer and elk.  Here they are sneaking up on a doe in the trees.
