We spent a night in Pagosa Springs with Elise and Gus' babysitter, Sandy, and and her husband, Paul. Sandy is fabulous with children -- I teach without any worries of the kids because she loves them like her own grandchildren. Their three grown children live out-of-state so they adopted us. Paul is a mechanic at the neighborhood gas station and has fixed our Subaru a bunch. They invited us to stay at their house in Pagosa Springs, Colorado. We were there when the weather changed from summer-y to winter-y so we spent much of the time inside, but the kids had a blast with a fire in the fireplace and puzzles on the counter.
During one of our short, windy, cold hikes, Elise caught a butterfly who was about to "hibernate" for the winter. She held it in her hands the whole way back, in the car, and then into the house.
