After their fun morning, Patrick and I took the boys into Golden for lunch and to tour Coors. Lunch was great. The tour didn't happen. Did you know people wait for hours to go in the brewery on the weekends? We know that now. And we didn't wait. So I went to get a pedicure and Patrick took his mom laptop shopping. Grandpa had grandson duty. Unfortunately, not long after we left there was some major excitement next door to their house. The neighbors' back deck, and subsequently their home, caught fire. The boys had a front row view of multiple fire trucks and firemen doing their jobs very well. They even babysat the dogs that were initially trapped in the house but thankfully survived without injury. We spent the remainder of the afternoon and evening helping with whatever was needed, including Patrick going into the house to help salvage what they could get once the fire was out. It was a sad sight, but thankfully no one was hurt and, as they kept saying, "stuff can be replaced".
In the midst of the chaos I managed to pack our stuff and load the car. We left early on Sunday morning for the drive home. The boys did great and we made it back to Maddie relatively quickly. It was a long trip but a great one!
