Memories of Karen from LeAnn, her Niece

When I was younger Aunt Karen had a condo near my parents. I loved to go visit her. I am pretty sure that I bugged my parents every day to go visit. I wanted to swim, swim, swim and eat yummy snacks at Aunt Karen's house!  I remember swimming until we crashed. Then we would head over to her house and chill. She was always so generous and let us have as many snacks as we wanted.

I also have this great memory of driving to Denver, Colorado with her and my father. She was moving there for a job. It was such a great trip. She took time to do some fun touristy stuff with us. We went to a fun place for dinner called Casa Bonita. They had sky divers jumping during dinner. We also had a old fashioned type Western Picture place. We had our pictures taken. Karen did her usual and made a funny face. Karen took the time to play all the arcade games with me. We also visited the Coor's Brewery. It was a really neat tour. At the end was taste testing and Karen harassed me about being too young. I was sipping Coke while my dad and her tasted the other drinks. (Okay, Karen probably had a sip of Coke too!) On that trip we also went and got a yummy steak dinner. It was a neat place that would cut off anyone who wore a fancy tie to dinner. It also had a giant yellow slide in the building. Karen, of course, always willing to have fun went down it several times with me.

I also remember a great trip to Yellowstone that Karen took with my Family. She was suppose to sleep with me and I was such a sleep kicker she ended up on the floor. Poor Karen. Karen made that trip so fun.  She had driven her own car and I remember all of the kids wanted to ride with her. I remember when I got her all to myself, she was showing me how cruise control worked. I was young and she let me push the button that speed up the car and I was thrilled! Plus I was in the car with the coolest Aunt, I was in kid heaven!
