Weekend at Colorado Springs

We attended the 2011 Rocky Mountain State Games badminton tournament this year in Colorado Springs. As Steffen was the organizer(and we are volunteers), we were there on Saturday to help setup. Part of my contribution involves "removal of pesky, whiny kids". So, while Alan and the gang were putting down the line, i whisked the kids away(while they nap in the car) to spend a few hours with The Chews at their lovely house.

The kids surprisingly got along quite well and we had a nearly uneventful afternoon. But i think that's because The Chew kids were such super nice kids!

Then they joined us for some Sri Lankan food with the rest of the gang. Since it was Steffen's birthday the next day, we got some enjoy some yummy birthday cake too!

I am sure the people at the restaurant finally sighed in relief when we left!!!

Steffen also got us some complimentary rooms for the weekend. So the boys were excited about their rooms and the bed full of pillows.

And since they played so well, we decided they can meet one more time in the morning the next day. So, Eileen brought the kids for a quick swim.

It was a fun times for the kids and I got to catch up with Eileen and CK who moving to Boston!!! So, all in all, it was a lovely weekend.

Oh oh.. i also went home with 2 silver medals from the tournament!! :)
