I can tell you from experience, when it comes to meal time prep, these gals can make it happen!
Dale and Joy's backyard provided the arena for several evenings of backyard games. Competition, while in good fun, had a way of turning a bit serious as participants skills improved! 
Where their are family games, there you also find the "Peanut gallery" of supporters and encouragers and, unless you're very lucky, an agitator or two!
Dale & Joy's backyard patio was the scene of several delicious meals - looks like these guests are ready for a nap.
Corner Bakery is located just down the Parkway from our house. Adelia and I frequently enjoy our Saturday morning breakfast at that restaurant. But this morning was very special - we were joined by our entire family for breakfast on the Corner Bakery outdoor patio, enjoying the great food, amazing Colorado weather, and most of all - each other's company!
"Thank you, God, for our many blessings ..."
Waiting their turn for Four Square
Three generations playing Four-Square
League Men's softball - Dale coming to bat.
Just a 20 minute drive from our home, Heritage Square is located near Golden, Colorado, on Highway 40 along the base of the Rocky Mountain foothills. Riding speeding sleds down the curved half mile track of the Alpine Slide has long been one of our favorite family activities.
It's a steep uphill walk to the base of the Alpine Slide, but the thrilling ride that awaits makes it worth the effort - for riders of all ages!
Quick - sit down, lower the safety bar and to the top of the mountain!
Finish line in sight; faces beaming!
Come on, men, give them back to the girls - please!
Testing Ethiopian WOODEN pillows (but not for long).
How did we exist without the Wii?
