Joni was ready to go. |
We spent more time with Ken. Hiking, bike riding, eating and just having a good time.
Delton needed a rest |
The Apex Trail is also a mountain biking trail. It's amazing to see how the mountain bikers travel over the rocks, tree stumps and tough terrain. Sorry I didn't get any pictures of that.
Keri, Joni, Delton and Loren |
They moved to the Denver/Boulder area recently and are very happy to be in Colorado. Loren is a youth minister at Flatirons Community Church, so we decided to attend a service at Flatirons. It's a very large church, with services held in an old Walmart. After renovating the facility, it accommodates the church very well.
Loren and Keri, his wife, have 4 absolutely adorable daughters. I'm so sorry I didn't get pictures of them, but we did get a picture with Loren and Keri in the lobby of Flatirons Church. The girls are Abby, Emily, Rachel and Hannah. It was fun to be around little girls as most of our family is all boys.
Downtown Golden is a cute little historical town. Walking along the river one afternoon, we saw some people enjoying kayaking in the river. They had short river kayaks and were practicing their river techniques. Sometimes they would tip over and have to right themselves in their kayaks. A little scary to us. I think it's called rolling over. We'll stick to our open white water kayaks - (see previous posts).
Our walk along the river continued. Trees were finally starting to turn. Too bad we couldn't stay longer and see the Aspens in full fall color.
