Day 1












Pics from Kari's camera today; just a sampling of our adventure. Left home around 2:15 am; 4 am had us in Omaha, Brady awake sort of, and me praying like crazy he'd go back to sleep. 5:30 found us outside Lincoln, driving into a storm with some wicked lightening. Ole's for breakfast, tightrope walking railroad ties at a gas station to burn some energy, and then the Coors Brewery tour in Golden. The kids and I hung out by Clear Creek while Em napped with Kari in the car. Another hour and we moved into our temporary home in Frisco. Headed to the Dillion Dam brewery (give a church guy vacation and it becomes a brewery tour!) for dinner, then up the Old Dillion Reservoir trail for a post meal hike. Brady led the way and we all had a ball. Kids are sleeping now, and I'm right behind.
The cross picture -- we were headed after dinner to Silverthorne to walk around, and Kari spotted a perfect cross in the clouds above one of the mountains. Served to confirm what we had been seeing all along today; He has gone before us to clear the road, keep us awake, keep the weather at bay...that was a nice 'Glad you are here' moment for us.
Until tomorrow...
