The Bergstroms Came to Colorado!

Mom, Ken, and Cayla made the long drive out here during UMD's Spring Break and hit the slopes in Winter Park, CO... Gorgeous! There was fresh snow and even more sun everyday for them. And, the best part: They got to visit Me & Tim, and Jordan & Joy!

Jordy, Ken, Cayla: Winter Park, CO on St. Patrick's Day!

On Monday, they were able to stop by my "work" at the D's and meet the girls :) Although Fin remembered mom from her November visit with "Oh! Becky, from Minnesota!" it was cute!

Sel wasn't as fond of Ken, whom she called "geek" quite clearly... But it certainly was a fun way for them to start of the week. Oh, and it was a sunny 65 degrees when they rolled in.

Then, we all gathered at our place, including Ethan Printy (Woohoo, Milaca friends in Denver) before heading out to El Tapatio--Tim's and My favorite Mexican hot spot in Littleton/Lakewood. I--of course--enjoyed the staple Mexican Food order: Chili Rellenos! YUMMMMMMMMM. 

After Dinner, we (minus Ethan) came back to the Kastenbees for a scrumptious serving of 5 Layer Chocolate Cake and Ice Cream in celebration of Tim's Birthday (belated). Another big YUMMMM.

On Tuesday, the Bergstroms climbed the mountains in the fully-loaded-down-Land Cruiser to WP. Tim had his first softball game of the season at Clement Park {sorry--I forgot my camera} where he pitched a great game and the competitive team he's playing with, The Denver Teds, scored a great five-inning game at a 14-13 win! Maggie and I watched/cheered from the cement bleachers. Aaahhh... the feel of summer is  approaching :)

After work on Wednesday, Jordy picked me up and we grabbed BOGO Chipotle Burritos for the drive up to WP. We hung out and played SORRY before watching a weird movie called "The Happening" (M. Night Shyamalan). Tim and Maggie drove Thursday morning in our SIENNA up the mountain in more icy/wet/snow-packed conditions and made it for a late breakfast at the condo before Jordan, Ken, and Cayla took the bus shuttle to the ski resort (just a few minutes away). Mom, Tim (and Maggie), and Myself lounged for the morning, took Maggie to the park to lose her Kong in waist-deep snow, and brought lunch to our hooligan family as they took a break from skiing/boarding.

 Mom and Ken cooked us up a delicious Chinese Meal with Rice, Chicken Stir-Fry, HOME MADE EGG ROLLS and sweet and sour dipping sauce... it was a great preface to Joy's rainbow cupcakes!

All in All, it was a very fun week for them, and us! We loved the blessing of spending time with our family (AS ALWAYS), and are so thankful for the effort they took to come out... even if it was for the skiing and not for us ;)
