We had a blast! Here are some photos:
We got a flat tire on the trail, so they guys changed it.
I sat in the back:)
We also saw some beautiful flowers.
A funny sign we saw along the way.
Thanks Jack and Cherry!

Candy Compandy Tour for Free
Earlier this month my family was visiting and we went to the Hammond Candy Company for a FREE tour.
It was something fun to do with people from out of town. We had a wait a short while (20 min) to get on the tour, and it consisted of a video and looking through windows seeing them make and package the candy, but hey, the price was right.
The website is here: http://www.hammondscandies.com/index.php
They HAND make lollipops, candy canes, hard ribbon candy and more.
Here are some workers pulling the candy, cutting and making candy canes.
Sometimes the candy is as thick as a baseball bat until they pull it.
We also printed off coupons for free lollipops after the tour. I know there are coupons other places but I found some HERE.
SWEET. Literally.

Wedding in The Springs
We spent Friday and Saturday in Colorado Springs at a friends wedding. We had a great time being involved in the wedding and staying with our friends Andrew and Lindsay (and David).
John was a groomsman and the music director of the wedding.
The lovely couple.
It was great to hang out with Tom too. He sang in the wedding and became a personal photographer for John and I. Thanks Tom!
Some pictures Tom took of us:
Thank you to Andrew, Lindsay and David for letting us stay with them.
John wrote a recessional piece for the wedding. It was awesome. I even played drums in it. Check it out.
