Here's the gang on homecoming night...

CHS Band Performance Arapahoe Inv 9/28

The band performed at Littleton Stadium on 9/28. They took first in 3A and came in 9th of 15 against 4A and 5A schools. A great performance!

Remember Mr. Peabody and the WABAC machine?

Well, we traveled into the past this weekend. We went to the Renaissance Festival down in Larkspur (it's a little over an hour from here.) The photos are of Megan and Matt - hamming it up in front of the main gates, and Steve and me in our finery :-). The festival is held every year during the weekends in June and July. There is lots of entertainment - our favorite shows are the Washing Well Wenches, Puke & Snot, and Ded Bob - lots of food and of course lots of vendors. We added to our costumes this year. Steve got a sword frog (it's a thingy that keeps your sword horizontal instead of vertical), Aaron got wrist gauntlets and I got a flowered wreath to match my new costume. We'll go again next weekend when Matthew will be able to join us....more pix to follow!

More Bremerhaven...

Bremerhaven is also the place where Steve was born. The red brick building was the hospital where he was hatched, it now houses medical offices. Because we were there on a Sunday it was closed. The cobblestone streets and sidewalk are typical of smaller/older towns in Germany.

Bremerhaven.....

Bremerhaven is a port city on the North Sea and home to a maritime museum. They have everything from prehistoric dugout canoes to tall sailing ships to U-boats. We had lunch in the cafe and walked along the edge of the bay. It was very windy and rainy the day we were there.

On the road.....

Traveling through Germany, we could see why German settlers ended up in the Midwest US...it looked so much like home to them :-).
