Today we got up too late to find a church to attend.

The Autrys returned to Estes Park with his family to enjoy the beauty of Rocky Mountain National Park.

The Hilliards enjoyed the afternoon with a local family they had met in the RV park through Alec. We tubed on their private lake and ate a steak dinner with them and their neighbors. Thank you Hata family for your hospitality!

Charles & Laurie celebrated their 13th wedding anniversary today .... with the kids and a candled cinnamon roll!

Tuesday, September 10
Ministered at Calvary Bible Evangelical Free Church in Lafayette, CO. Today was "picture day" at the Hilliards and Autry's homeschool, or is that "bus school"?!

Charles celebrated his 37th birthday today with cards and cake and a night out with Laurie... to repair a hurting relationship following one of their most heated arguments of their 13 year marriage.

Looking back now, we feel that the issue was pure selfishness and wanting to be right. We also realize that we both need time alone... which is very difficult to find in our 8'x40' rolling home complete with 3 kids.

Today we took a homeschool field trip to the Butterfly Pavilion in Westminster, CO. Some of us had the privilege of holding Rosey the tarantula! And we all enjoyed watching thousands of exotic butterflies.

Today at Boulder Valley Christian Church we mutually encouraged one another like Romans 1:12 states. 2MOMS shared with their MOPS group, and they met our physical needs in such a neat way!

Sharon shared the need for a nurse or doctor to check on Davis, who had been miserable for several days. One lady in the audience referred us to her pediatrician.

At the doctor's appointment, Sharon shared what 2MOMS is doing. After the doc treated Davis for an ear infection, she indicated a "No Charge" on her bill! Praise the Lord for how He uses His people to meet our needs!

Today we took both buses to Colorado Coach and Bus Works in Denver for a complete service job.

While the buses were being serviced, our families headed in separate directions -- the Autrys to the mountains, and the Hilliards to the Denver Children's Museum.
