Frontier Days and a Birthday in the Park

Our son's family came for a visit in late July for a few days and to attend their cousin's birthday.

Of course we did a few Frontier Days activities; the pony rides and the carnival and watched the Thunderbirds perform their aerial show over the city and attended one of the four parades in Downtown Cheyenne. I only got a few decent pictures. When all the grand kids are around things move along pretty fast. The time always goes way too fast for my liking!

The Van Courts also got to spend a couple days in Vail seeing more of the extended family before returning through Loveland for Maverick's fourth birthday. It was a hot day in the upper 90's, but we had a big shade tree overhead and a portable awning and it was all good despite the heat. The kid's got to design a super hero cape of their own. They took a ride on the train in the park and played on the playground equipment. There was plenty of pizza and a special Ironman cake made by mama Erin. Willie (20 months) was a hot mess.
