It was a lovely fresh morning. Haze meant that this was pretty much all I could really see.
There was a fire in Ft. Collins CO, which had really spread in 3 days.
We got to Boulder @ 10:30.
The trip was uneventful except for George getting the special frisking treatment at YVR in Security. Jokes about that of course & questions.
Afternoon & dinner with Karl & Sarah, Ben, Danny & Joe. I meet Helen, Sarah's mother for the first time.
Ben has to wear a brace after school. He has scoliosis which is being treated this way. He used to have to wear it much more, but now it's just for a few hours.
There is much excitement because Ben, who plays the piano well, has just acquired a family Steinway baby grand that was built in the 1920s. It needs a lot of work, mainly tuning for now. He's going to be in grade 9.
Danny is about to be a senior at the school that Joe is graduating from.
He's having a lot of fun with the drama club.
Joe, on not much sleep.
That night he went to a rock concert and met a famous DJ who was standing near him in the audience.

Of course I hadn't heard of him!
Saturday we had a scramble golf game. Two teams with 4 players each. The team plays the best ball on each shot. Pop & Da Boyz vs. Karl & Da Goils.
I decided not to play. I hadn't ever even walked a game through before!
We had a lot of fun.
The course was gorgeous.
The sky was grey so we weren't too hot.
I played ball spotter.
Karl's team did 3 pars & one birdie.
So they won.
George was happy because he sunk some long putts & got to play with 3 grandsons.
It rained for the 9th hole, just enough so we could be proud of toughing it out, but not enough to be miserable.
That night, last night we went out for a traditional (for us when we visit) sushi supper.
I had my celery with me, as did everyone else. I could take pictures as all 4 teenage boys (including Jake, cousin) looked at the smart phone. Much intensity!
Today is graduation.
That's it for now.
