Colorado, Greeley July 1 - 5

Family get together at Noreen's home in Greeley Colorado over the 4th of July holiday.  Brother Jim and his wife Bev decided to come for a visit so we had a small family reunion.  It was great to see everyone and what a good time we had.  Only could have been better if youngest brother, Richard and his wife Joyce could have been there too.  Hopefully next get together all the Moeller siblings can make it.  Some of the pictures in this blog are thanks to Jim, Marily, or Noreen.

Statues in a yard at Greeley.  So perfect for 4th of July celebration.

Bev's favorite place to visit while in Colorado is Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park.  This picture we've stopped at McDonald's in Estes park for a quick snack before driving up to RMNP.

At the top of Trail Ridge Road in RMNP is the visitor Center.

View on the way to the top.  

Not a lot of snow left but some on July 2nd.

We saw several elk in the park and then a good size herd in Loveland on the way back.

It was a tough chose but we had a very nice dinner.  The company was even better though.

This visit has been very tough on the waistline.  This is the whole group enjoying an ice cream after lunch at McDonald's.  We're at a dairy outside of Greeley.  They make cheese here as well as ice cream. 

Three of the Gavette kids at the dairy.  From left to right, Evie, Toby and Haden.

As you can imagine we got in several games of poker.  Most nights the 4 siblings stayed up and played till 2 or 3 in the AM

Sure do see the family resemblance.

The 4th of July is always great fun at the Arnbrecht's.  We had around 40 people.  What fun.  This is Mac helping the younger Gavette kids with the fireworks.
