After the Sand Dunes, we headed north to Salida. Former MVSers were camping in that area with their kids, and it was on our way to my aunt and uncle’s house. It was such a blessing how everything worked out to see people.
We played in Riverside Park in Salida before meeting them at Amica’s for pizza and again after supper altogether.
It was good to see one another and catch up. While I knew nothing about what was happening with them, Claire is one of my loyal blog followers and knew all about our adventures since we last saw each other 11 years ago! It is cool how when you reconnect with someone, you can just pick up right where you left off in your friendship. Claire, Taylor, Nora, and Olive, it was good to see you!
The other thing we remembered about Colorado this trip were the wildflowers. They were beautiful. Many of these came from a later hike we took with my aunt Sherry, but I am posting them here. Apparently on that hike, the meadow opened up to the beauty of the flowers. (Madison was still not her best self, so we didn’t see them.)
A few neat looking toadstools. Sherry later said the red mushroom will sting you if you pick it. Glad I didn’t try.
And the state flower, Columbine
