A picnic with mountain climbers, princesses, soccer players and a cute baby

5 month old Ben and Mommy



Little girls can do this!!!




Can I go to school with you?




Yes, picnics with grownups are fun but we are hungry




Can we walk/run all the way down?




It is too far to walk up!




We are happy wheel people can come to the park




It's not Pikes Peek but it is my mountain

A morning at the park with grand kids and kids!  Viewing the falls, kicking the ball, eating dogs over the fire, having ice cream and more, you can not beat that.  Grandma Terry, myself, Cynthia, Faustina, Leo, Jude and Ben spent about two hours at the park yesterday.  It was a grand time.  That place, Sea Salt, is the place to go it seems as we met several people we knew. 
The afternoon was a different story.  To Penny's for a short shopping trip, a stop at Costco for gas and then to Lego Land where Leo was able to pick out a Lego set.  Luckily the one he wanted was too old for him (well the price was $79:(  ) so that one got to stay on the shelf for a time when a more generous parent or grandparent might happen along. After arriving home it was a test of wills between Leo and grandpa.  Grandpa's way was to follow the directions step by step (Like I always do!) but Leo's way was to look at the picture and follow that.  Grandpa's way won but really there are some tiny parts that still lie on the table!!!!  Finally after the thing was together we got Leo to eat--but not much.  Then it was Star Wars in the camper with an overnight there too with Grandpa and Grandma Terry.  Well after the movie and we were all settled in Leo quietly said he wanted to sleep in the house!!  So in we go and of course there were no objections from ANYONE.
As I sit here this morning blogging Leo, of course, is watching Star Wars in the living room.  I am not sure why as last night he explained the whole movie as we watched it!  I know that if Mommy were here she might say "have we not watched enough movies, how about going for a walk!"  BUT mommy is not here so we will finish the movie!!!!!!!
As we entertain Leo today we also need to get our act together as we will head out in the morning for places east, north and then back west again.  It is kind of fun as the oldest grandchild, Zach, graduates from HS next week and the youngest grandchild, Ben, just smiles at you in the best "5 month smile" in the world.
No, Terry is hemming some hiking pants, Leo is busy as I said so grandpa best be getting off the computer and into something that leads to work which needs to be done--AND the french press is gone.
