Craggy peaks taken from Fall river dirt road nearing summit and Trail Ridge.

the Little Soul that could made it up hills and down in the valleies just fine thank you very much a fun but dusty drive

Early fall leaves- aspens and cool nights - there were only a very few spots where the change was occuring and visible just a couple more weeks and it will be gold allover.

Here it is Colorado shivering golden fall.

reprise

The north faces still have a few visible snow spots- and we saw lots of preparation for the snow season, road markers were up everywhere and all the paving on the park roads was just about done, the last little bit was on the summit at trail ridge road. It was quite chilly at the summit about 55 degrees and windy but the sun was shining. It was a grand day for an adventure in the park with great company.

quilt-art-color design!

The University of Nebraska's quilt (museum) -Awesome



our story- we recorded a friendship story (just QT and K8) and a family story with 4 of us including J and Hh.



the exhibit was fascinating, the quilts under the microscope and the Perspective ( contemporary quilts) we so awesome!! unbelievable the color techniques and different style was so interesting. the color the vibe, the audio tour a smashing success. The under the microscope equally interesting in the things not to do to the quilts ( like wash them) and the deterioration that happens with different factors like bleaching in calico's ( red ones were especially vulnerably) and iron ore used to create the color brown - caused oxidation -read as rusted- and this ate away fabric too... the girls were even intrigued i think with the clothing and fabric in detail and close up.

The only thing we didn't get to do was Take pictures of any of the quilts. but the day was great.



We went to the Germans from Russia museum and research center too. There was a large population that were settled in Nebraska- they were interesting too. We took pictures of the things that they used and brought with them from the old country. they have a large ansestry-geneology study center.

always fun adventure and cool things with our friends

Going on a trip!

We are going to see Aunty! Hh And I can't wait for a " girls weekend" -
Sunny weather will be on opur agenda, maybe some beach and ocean time, and lots of other fun things. Plus spending time with our family we don't get to see nearly enough.

They are predicting " bad weather here tomorrow" as in Snow- so we are hoping it will all be gone as we wing our way to San Diego on Friday afternoon.

Suggestions for must see places will be taken right here in the Comment section if you want to leave them.

skyventure

Skyventure is where Hh wants to go for the 13th birthday celebration. We went there today to see it live and in person, just to be sure she really does want to do it!, she came away more detirmend than ever. Should be a fun time, I told her she could invite one friend to do this with her. ( it is a little pricey) - we will try to get video of the adventure and post it too. She is all over doing this, next it will be the real deal out of a plane?!?!
