Vacation - Downtown Denver

We really had a great time celebrating the 4th of July with family!!

But all good things must end, so on to Denver we flew.

 We needed some way to get around town & on to our next destination besides these ...

 So we did this ...

 Our youngest son had moved to the Denver area last fall and

we had lunch with him at a local bar dive before checking in to our hotel in downtown Denver.

The hotel was a fancy place a block away from the famed "16th Street Mall."

The evening started out fine so we went exploring.

As in any big city we noticed the homeless people and their dogs.

 Adult size three wheelers were a big hit!!

We had dinner at the "modmarket" on the 16th St Mall.

Celebrating July 4th

We celebrated July 4th with the hubby's sister, her husband & his family in Oklahoma City.

 It had been a few years since we had seen them.  

We had a really great day with them & 

were richly entertained with all of their musical talent.

Nephew Justin, brother Frankie, son Dustin, & Tommy

Betsy, daughter Angie, daughter-in-law Chelsea, sister-in-law Bliss

Granddaughter Ivy

Granddog Rey Rey

Of course besides the entertainment there was a little bit of food.

I just took pictures of the dessert!

 There's nothing on earth more precious than family!!

Grandchildren - God's Blesssings

I'm reminded anew of God's blessings!! 

We recently visited our two beautiful grandchildren and

celebrated our granddaughter's one year birthday.

We brought Quackles as a surprise for our granddaughter 

since she is now big enough to ride him.

But our grandson still loves to ride Quackles and 

didn't really want to share with his sister.

Our granddaughter is not too interested in walking yet.

She gets around fast by doing the "3-legged" crawl

which leaves one hand free to carry something.

She loves playing with the doll that her mom made for her.

As always our grandson sings & plays music.

Story time with grandpa.

The weather cooperated & we had play time at the park.

Happy Birthday!!

Until next time!!
