It's Springtime in the Rockies

These pretty tulips in our yard tell us it is spring. We have had warm and cold weather this last week. There has been sun, clouds, rain, snow, wind, warmth, and cold. I love experiencing all the seasons, sometimes all in one day!! On Friday evening we flew to Denver to visit the Goodman Family. Eric and Kyle picked us up at the airport. It was so good to see all of them.
Early on Saturday we went with Eric and Kyle to Kyle's soccer game. It brought back lots of memories of many Saturday soccer games with our own kids. Sometimes we would have 3 0r 4 games on the same day to watch and enjoy!!

It was team picture day.


Saturday afternoon we took Emily to her gymnastics class and got to see her do some great flips and jumps. We took Kyle to lunch at Subway and then to Target to get a toy he had been saving his money for. That evening we went with Lindsey to a play at the high school. It was fun to have a date with our granddaughter.



Sunday after church and lunch we drove south a bit to a hiking trail up a little mountain. Melodie, Eric, Sammy, Lucky (their cute dogs) and Kayla, Lindsey, Emily, and I made the trip. On our hike we experienced thunder, lightening, and snow. (Yes snow on May 2.) The snow was like little styrofoam pellets falling on us. It was really fun and beautiful. That evening we enjoyed playing games and watching family pictures.




We arrived home safely on Monday afternoon to find our red tulips blooming beautifully. We enjoyed our visit very much.
