For Fall Break Lindsay and I decided to head over to Colorado! It had actually been planned since August when Lindsay and Colton first moved here. They were so sad that they wouldn't be able to see Josh play football and Jackson's team here had a bye so we thought it would be fun to head over for a visit! So Wed afternoon we checked the kids out of school and headed out. TJ and Colton couldn't drive with us on Wed but they were close behind, heading over on Thursday!
Not only did we have the chance to see Josh play football, we also got to cheer Taylor on during his last Cross Country Meet, spend Ali's birthday with her and run in the Denver marathon relay! And in between all of that we tried to convince Matt and Erin to join us from SoCal, held family polls on the top 5 loudest family members and the top 5 most sarcastic family members and created 'How Well Do you Know Me' quizzes. The 'How Well Do you Know Me' idea was started by miss Natalie and that was very interesting and informative! I learned that after 12 years of belonging to the Brinkerhoff family, there were still things I didn't know about some of them!
It was a FANTASTIC weekend and I'm so glad we had the opportunity to go. TJ, Jackson and I had never seen Josh play football so that was really fun and it was great to just hang out and have fun with the family!
Taylor booking it up the hill! He seriously is so fast!!!!! He was hoping to finish under 20 minutes and just barely missed it. Funny that I just hope to finish a 5 K in 30 minutes!
Waiting to be seated for Ali's birthday dinner!
Sleepy Savannah at Joshy's game.
Josh is the QB. He dropped back to pass and shortly after this picture was taken got tackled. I gotta say, it hurt my heart to see Josh get hit so hard but he's a tough kid so it was all good!
#12--Same as his nephew Jackson!
I'm not sure that I should really claim this group as my family!
A big thanks to Papa and LouLou for letting us wreak havoc on their house for the weekend! We hope it was all worth it for them!
