A “Cars” birthday and a mini family reunion



This past week we have had our son and his family visiting from Kansas. We were able to do a few Frontier Days activities while they were here. We took our little granddaughter to her first parade and both of our grandchildren to the carnival and rodeo grounds the following day. They were a little too young to ride even the kiddie rides except for the little train and old fashioned cars. We all rode the ferriss wheel overlooking the whole area.

On Friday our youngest daughter arrived late and we all celebrated Maverick’s second birthday on Saturday in Colorado. He is obsessed with cars from the Disney movie “Cars” and knows all the characters by name. He always has two or more cars in his hands when he is running around the house and usually takes them to bed with him also. Mom made him cupcakes with traffic lights and Gremmie made some little cars out of candy bars for treats. There was a road with a white dotted line running on the floor from the front door around the dining room.

Grandma Denise was visiting from California. Mav’s friends from the babysitter’s house came as well as his good friend Sammy. Daddy Chris obtained an electric Corvette recently for free and had gotten it working again. Cousin Callie practiced her driving skills around the backyard. Poor Mav has to grow a bit before he can work the accelerator!

We had two extra days after the Kansas family left with our youngest daughter before returning her to the airport on Tuesday.
It was a wonderful blessing to have our family around. We treasure these times.

  1. It was such a delight to have all of the kids and grandkids together for even a short time. One of the highlights is seeing the grandchildren growing and developing. Conversations are starting in earnest and their joy of discovery brings smiles to the entire family. Precious photos and precious times.
