Mike's place answers to Mandy's questions

If both Ralph and Andy can't make it to our place, then perhaps our place isn't the best choice. I won't be too upset if it doesn't work to come here, but if it's an open discussion, here are my answers to Mandy's questions:

Housing: We have 3 unused bedrooms, and room on floors and couches that could house a number of people. We haven't asked yet, but we are pretty sure that either our next door neighbors would let some people stay in their basement or Holley Lucero will also let people stay in her house. The weather here is conducive to children sleeping outside, too, if they are so inclined.

Things to do:

1. Focus on the Family is about 15 minutes away from here. It would be a good part day activity.

2. Garden of the Gods is about 20 minutes away and is good for a couple of hours.

3. There is a good park within walking distance that has basketball courts, soccer fields, a merry-go-round, swings, and ... play things.

4. There is a crazy park about 25 minutes away that has lots of spinning play things to make you sick...

5. The US Olympic Training Center is about 25 minutes away. We haven't been there, but it looks interesting.

6. I guess you could just look at this.

7. In addition to what we can do here, Denver is only about an hour North, and there's all kinds of things that we can do--Including Casa Bonitas (remember that place?) and a natural history museum that is free for military people (that's all we've done up there, though there's certainly more).
