We had a great time out visiting Amy and the boys. We went and spent a couple days at Amy's timeshare in Vail. The skiing wasn't that great and only a few slopes were open and they were kind of icy, but it was still fun! Max had improved a lot since last year, and Ben even took a day at ski school and did the bunny hill a few times with Amy off the leash. Annie didn't ski, but she can swim underwater. :) Amy's friends Troy & Laura and their girls came and skied and had dinner with us back at the "Vail Home". We had an early Thanksgiving dinner back in Denver with Clayton, who we had met in Connecticut earlier in the summer. He moved out to CO with some friends and we hung out with him a few times while we were there too. We met up with him and some of my friends from Westminster, Colleen & Andy and went on a brewery crawl. We started at Coors which is the largest on single brewery in the world. We went on a tour and then to the tasting room. They give you 3 8oz drinks. Coors Banquet is so good straight from the tap. They have a lot of options too because they make all the Blue Moon varieties and Miller products as well. Then we drove up to Boulder and went to Boulder Beer Company for a tour. This was the first mircobrewery in Colorado. Obviously much smaller than Coors, and they had a nice informative tour as well and then the tasting room had around 10 of their different beers in pitchers and you could just go and taste them all at your own will. There were only a few other people on the tour so we took our time there enjoying all the different brews. Then we went to Avery Brewery which is Andy's favorite. We were there a bit late for the tour, but joined in in time to see most of it. Unfortunately they didn't give any free tastings, so we just ordered one and tried everyone else's. Then we went back to Andy's and he made us some pizza before we headed home for the night. There are so many breweries in Boulder and the surrounding area, we could've spent all week just trying out new places.
We had a great Thanksgiving at Amy's. Janelle and Allen and their kids Mathea and Reese came and so did our Andy. Thankfully Allen brought the turkey! We were talking about justing having halibut for dinner because Amy doesn't eat meat. Fortunately Thanksgiving felt like Thanksgiving. It was such a beautiful day too, 60 something degrees. We started drinking the wine early and had a great time hanging out and playing Apples to Apples. We went to an Avalanche game later that week, it was Max & Ben's first game! It was an exciting one too. Avs beat the Oilers 5 - 2. We helped Amy put up all her Christmas decorations and get the tree put together. It was the perfect place to be for the last 10 days of our trip together!
