Bill and Susi Come to Play

Bill and Susi came out to Colorado Springs over the Halloween weekend. It was Bill's first time meeting Grace. She sure gave him lots of pretty smiles!! She loves to be on her changing table, especially when there are friendly faces adoring her from above. (DON'T FORGET TO CLICK ON EACH PICTURE TO SEE THEM LARGER!)



We all decided to take a drive through the mountains to enjoy the beauty of Colorado and look for animals. Grace slept through most of it, of course, but the rest of us came across quite a bit to look at!



Eventually we stopped for a picnic lunch. There was some pretty neat old mining equipment there to look at...and climb on.






Conner was very intrigued by this "broken house." When we asked him later that what he saw on our drive he remembered the "broken house." Then again when he and I were playing yesterday, and I asked what he wanted me to draw with the chalk outside, he said the "broken house." Isn't it interesting what sticks in their little minds?

Before leaving we had to take couple group shots. Conner was also fascinated by the blinking light of the timer on the camera. Here he is checking it out as Bill sets it up. Such a cutie.



On the road again...

We were mostly looking for long horned sheep, and check it out!

Yes, these were actually that close. They were right on the side of the road.





Bill was being so nice to sit in the back for part of the drive. Unfortunately for him it was the most exciting part, and when we all jumped out to get a better view of animals, he was sort of left behind. What a good sport. :)

We did let Bill out eventually. :)

These next picures were taken at a park near our home. It's a beautiful time of year to be outside.

Nobody told me it was black shirt day. :)
