A Bayfield reunion!

One of our must do's on this trip was to travel to Bayfield, Colorado to catch up with the beautiful Dianne Milner and her gorgeous family, Mike, Sydney and Perry. 
Bayfield is a beautiful town with the Los Pinos River flowing through its centre and the snow capped San Juan mountains to the North. We had  a couple of days to explore the area and Glen fished where possible. 
One of the highlights of our stay was attending a varsity volleyball game complete with cheer leaders, band and the whole nine yards of Americana! And luckily for us the home team won, go WOLVERINES! The girls are dressed in pink for the game as it was a breast cancer fundraiser. 
The talent these girls displayed was amazing! 
There are many differences between ours and the American schooling system and the most noticeable one is the facilities.
All of my PE teacher friends take note, this is the spare gym or the 'auxiliary gym'. The main gym is pictured above at the volleyball game. 
Crazy hey, but those of you that are into performing arts, this is the new Performing Arts wing!!! 
And last but not least, Di's classroom where the students are attentive and want to learn. Not that this is completely different from every Australian school. 
We can't forget to thank Syd for the tour and include a picture of her locker!

We need to thank the entire Milner family for their hospitality, our great Mexican meal, the great company and for the memories and momentos we came away with xx

PS. Perry the girls are dead keen to get a bongo board, I don't think they will EVER get close to your record though!
