Left Lathrop State Park at around 8 o'clock this morning and made sure to dump before we headed out. Took the interstate I 25 up to Colorado city and then broke off to go ahead and come on up to Colorado Springs. Got checked in and set up in our space here at Golden Eagle RV Park. Then took the rest of the afternoon and went over and visited with Alicia and Brandon.
We got ourselves up and moving, had some breakfast and relaxed for a little bit. Went out mid-morning, stopped at the gym and got Cindy signed up for that. Found a spot to have some food while we were out, then came back to the trailer and RV park and relaxed the rest of the day.
Cindy went to the gym early and while she was gone I took Chloe for a walk about the park area. We now have our Starlink and are making use of it, so far thoroughly enjoying having a good connection for any of our viewing items as well as the ability to work on our phones and computer, without any hiccups. After Cindy got back from the gym, we headed over towards Alicia's, stopping along the way to eat a midday meal at Culver's. Then we met Alicia at the liquor store and ended up buying some micro beers as well as quite a bit of hard alcohol. Continued on over to Alicia's house and visited with her until we had to leave because of a house showing. Came back to the RV and did our usual kick back and relax.
We had a snow day today. Nice wet spring type snow, throughout the day it was cloudy and began snowing in early evening yesterday and by the time we got up this morning we had around 8 inches on the ground. The new Starlink worked quite well through the storm, with the setting on the preheat it was able to keep the snow melted off of the whole dish.
It snowed throughout the day. Not a lot of accumulation, but did stay cloudy and cold all day long.
Still cloudy most of the day, so it did warm up, so we got a lot of the snow to melt off. And in the afternoon we did receive a fair amount of rain. As one would expect with that much moisture coming down, we ended up with quite the mudhole around here.
Received a phone call from Brandon around 5:30 in the morning, saying that Alicia had gone into labor and that he was on his way with her to the hospital. We quickly got dressed, I took Chloe for a walk, and we jumped in the truck and headed for the hospital. Upon our arrival at the hospital, Cindy was able to go into the labor room with Alicia and visit with her while I waited in the waiting room with Brandon. Cindy's ex-husband Tom and his wife Martha arrived around 930 or so, and we spent the day in the waiting room visiting with them and waiting for the arrival of Miss Ava. Ava made her grand entry at 1:06 PM. She was 7 lbs. 8 oz. and measured 19 inches in length. They moved Brandon and Alicia to the mother's room, and then we were able to see the new baby as well as check in and make sure that Alicia was doing fine. Brandon and I made a quick trip to their house and checked on the pup and fed the cats, then headed back to the hospital. So now we have 2 wonderful granddaughters born on this day.
Left the House at around 6:30 AM and went over to Alicia and Brandon's place, took Lily outside to potty and make sure she was going to be good for the day. From there we headed over to the hospital, checked in with the kids and made sure that the new granddaughter was doing good. We brought Lily home with us to spend the evening, so she would not be alone, however she had a hard time settling down and so as a result none of us got very much sleep.
Cindy stayed at the kid's house last night to keep an eye on the pup as well as take care of the cats. After getting up this morning and getting Chloe out for her morning walk, fed, and I took a shower, I headed over to Brandon and Alicia's house. We hung out at their house until about 10:30 AM, and then we went over to Costco and picked up some new nuts for the pantry, as well as had lunch while we were out. Came back to our house, and we were resting when we got a call from Brandon asking us to come over and help them out while he ran down to the drugstore to get a prescription for Alicia. We ended up staying there until almost 10:00 PM, at which time we came home and went to bed.
We were a bit slow getting started this morning, with me not getting Chloe out for her morning walk until after about 8 AM this morning. After coming back from the walk with Chloe, I had breakfast and watched the FMCA broadcast about what will be going on in Lincoln in August. After the completion of the video, Cindy went up to wash clothing while I tried to catch up on the calendar. And at 11:15 AM Cindy called me and said to come up and help her as we need to go back over to Brandon and Alicia's has Alicia is down again with a splitting headache.
Our 1st day since Ava arrived that we were able to do our own thing, which is a positive as the kids were able to handle things. Alicia being able to get around without the headache being a great step forward for them. We spent our day checking out Duluth clothing store, impressive in what they carry. Wood fired pizza for lunch, olive oil store then Costco, sausage from the butcher shop and grocery shopping for food for tomorrow's dinner at kid's house to celebrate Memorial Day. Upon arrival back at the house we unloaded the truck, put things away, watched the activity around the park and relaxed. Tomorrow I will need to smoke the chicken we thawed out, so it doesn't go bad.
Start in the morning at the house relaxing. Went over to Brandon and Alicia's place around noon and took along all the food that we bought yesterday for the barbecue today. I smoked candied salmon and Brandon smoked ribs. Tom and Martha were there. We all visited, ate food and got fat. We all enjoyed watching Little Ava Rae doing her thing.
We spent the morning at the trailer just relaxing as well as prepping and cleaning in the house. Met up with Brandon and Alicia at their house around 1 PM. We all went downtown for the Colorado Springs territorial days activities. We wandered about looking at booths, eating a little food, and then went home and dropped off Lily. Afterward we went and had dinner and went back to Brandon and Alicia's house. Visited with them until around 10 PM and came home. Called Aaron and wished him a happy birthday as well as posting that on Facebook.
Today was spent at the trailer watching videos and movies as well as just relaxing. Was able to take Chloe for a long walk down around the lake. Cindy did a bit of housecleaning and other than that we were just pretty much vegging all day.
