An Outing

 Made our way down to the Royal Gorge today. We have been there before, but apparently the girls don't remember.  It was nice to be out and about. It really is beautiful.  On our way back we decided to go to the prison museum.  It was actually quite fascinating.  Keara stayed in the car, but the three of us enjoyed it. 

 

Virtual Baby Shower

Attended my first virtual baby shower for this special person.  Actually was pretty fun as we played a few games and then watched her open gifts. 

 

A Covid Celebration

 Nothing was the same this year and Ethan's graduation from high school was one of those events.  We got to watch a recording, but when they came to visit Mark decided to throw a graduation for us all to attend.  Ethan was surprised and we all had fun.  Mark was mc/principal and Ethan did his speech.  

We also celebrated Keara's early graduation since we really didn't get to do anything for that per her request.  

They both got ribbons that said "I did it!".  It was a lot of fun.  Thanks Uncle Mark.

Dinner with Cousins

Had the family over for dinner today.  Good times were had by all. 

 

Castlewood Canyon

Wanted a change of scenery so we headed down to Castlewood Canyon for a hike.  Surprisingly the girl who doesn't like nature joined us.  We had some good quality time with Kailei.

Walking with Friends

Met these ladies for a walk today.  That's about all you can do for excitement these days.  I so enjoyed catching up. 
 

Best Day!

Celebrating this wonderful addition to the family.  Can't imagine life without her. 
 

Pool Time

The pool opened and you can sign up for time slots.  We managed to get in and enjoyed it.  It's the little things.

 

Virtual Adopteen Camp

Adopteen camp for Kailei looked a little different, but I'm glad adapted and made it happen.  It was three days long and they did activities most of the day.  Not the same as in person, but at least a way to connect.

Date

A date with this guy.  Ice cream and a walk in the town of Parker.  I'm lucky he sticks around. :)
 

Another Puzzle Completed

 

Hamilton!

 So excited to see the original cast. It did not disappoint. 

Back in Time

 Just some old pictures of Mom, Dad and Grandma that I had to capture.

Dad's 80th Birthday

 Had big plans to celebrate Dad's 80th birthday, but alas this year it was not to be.  Celebrated on the 4th with family and did as much as we could.  

Kevin actually made his year and took him and Mom up to Montana for a week.  They stayed in a house in a remote location and drove into Yellowstone.  They really enjoyed their time there and the pictures look beautiful. 

Grandma

Enjoyed our time with Grandma. 

 

Taking in the Sites

Today was our big sightseeing day.  We went to the lollipop factory in Vilas which was small but impressive.  The girls had been there before but I had not.  They make a ton of lollipops and ship them all over the US. 

We then made our way into Kansas to visit Grandma's old stomping ground.  Again, I had never been so it was nice to drive around and see the town.  It is bigger than Walsh and they had the most amazing little ice cream shop.
