Colorado Road trip: Ft. Collins

We spent a day in beautiful Fort Collins, CO to visit my sister and her fabulous family.

The devoted Mr. Garland attended CSU years ago, so he enjoyed a walk (or rather a drive) down memory lane.  Who knows?  Perhaps one of our kids will attend CSU some day.

 Chinny the Chinchilla, and his adoring fans.

  

 Anyone been here before?

My sister and I unknowingly ordered the same cone:  Resses Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup.  

We must be related.

Splashing in the downtown Ft. Collins water feature.

 Whoa.  A heavy freight train.  In the middle of downtown.  That's sorta crazy, right?!

These are 5 happy cousins enjoying ice cream topped with Rice Krispie Treats.

Can you say "sugar high"?

Awwww, Buddie!

And I have to throw these last two in.  The last time we were in Colorado was 2008.  Here's a photo of Sarah and her cousin on the same red tire swing, 3 years apart.

Thanks for a great time, Ft. Collins and the Johnsons!
