It was actually in September that we went up to see Dustin and Chiara. We went up the Provo Canyon at a place called Vivian's Park to see them come down the river in tubes.

Coming down the river!
Afterwards, we were hungry and went to eat at Wingers Restaurant.
Then in October we visited again and got to see El Tigre, the new addition. Looks like a little Marble.
John and I went to Orlando, Florida so he could teach some classes. Afterwards, we went to downtown Disneyworld. Here is John with Pete's dragon.

After that we went to Colorado so John could teach again. Afterwards we drove up to Estes Park and drove through the ghost town of Caribou on the way.
Only two stone partially left buildings were what remains of where they lived in Caribou.
The people left after a diptheria epidemic and fire occurred and had mined out most of the silver.
At the top of the town looking out a long ways.
We stayed at a place called the Silver Moon Inn which was very picturesque.
There were elk roaming around the first day we got there and they seemed pretty tame and used to people.
That evening they left and didn't return but when we drove up to see the Stanley Hotel, there were a lot of them there on the grounds.

Down at the golf course we saw even more as we were driving through town.

We went to this very same pizza place when the kids were young. It had changed a little inside but it sure brought back memories of that trip.
Looking at the Stanley Hotel from the visitors center.

We went on the ghost tour at the hotel. They say that children can be heard and sometimes seen in the halls and stairs.
We didn't stay in the actual hotel but in the villa behind it. These pictures are of the inside of the place.
