Steve, Beth, Grace & Ava - Weekend Visit

We enjoyed a brief visit with Steve and his family this weekend and got to spend some special time with their girls, Grace (2-1/2) and Ava (8 mos). They were here for a couple of days before heading east to visit with Beth's family in Indiana.

A weekend with Caleb

Grandson Caleb (age 6-1/2) and his mom, Dawn, who live in Kearney, Nebraska, came to town for a visit and a very busy weekend. We saw "Land of the Lost" Friday night (ugh!, but the "boys" giggled through it), took Kirk and some fishing gear to the dog park at Chatfield on Saturday. The fishing was a bust, due to wind, high river, busted gear, and about 10 attempts at casting that all ended up caught in bushes, trees or stuck under rocks.

We all worshipped at Genesis Presbyterian Church this morning, where Dwight was the guest preacher, then we headed for the ball park to watch the Rockies beat the Mariners - yahoooo! There was a brief rain delay (and tornado warning) so we left and headed for a nearby Starbucks, then drove out to the airport so Caleb and Dawn could catch their flight back home (we learned later that the flight was cancelled due to weather and they ended up spending the night in a hotel - quite the adventure!) Here are some pictures of our time together:

Dwight and Caleb get their gear ready for fishing in the South Platte River, Chatfield State Park. It was a great idea ...

Sharon and Caleb enjoy the game. The skies were starting to cloud up and soon we were running for cover from the wind and rain.
