Baseball and Cousins

Despite a pretty cool and blustery evening, the whole clan ventured out to watch AJ's baseball game at Lewis-Palmer Middle School. Armed with Chick-Fil-A, of course. More pics here.

Lots of blankets were involved.

USAF Thunderbirds

The U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds rehearsed their air show today for Thursday's USAF Academy's graduation ceremony. And Trevor and family were in town for the action! All the photos are here.

Happy Birthday, Lexi!

"I want a Peppa Pig cake!" Let it be so... At Lexi's request, a fabulous meal of ribs, mashed potatoes, asparagus, watermelon, and Peppa Pig cake.

She got cleaning and laundry toys. What?



She and AJ ran around cleaning things...

Apex Fun Run

Today cost Tracy boo-coo bucks. It was the Apex Fun Run at DCC Elementary, a fundraiser for the school, and for individual classrooms as well. All the kids got sponsors (you know, family and friends) for up to 36 laps. Lexi's class went yesterday (missed that for photos) and the rest went today. And it took most of the day, one grade level at a time.










55 laps.



Sam volunteered to mark laps.

Snow!

It started yesterday afternoon and was still snowing this morning. Our biggest single-day snow of the season, pushing a foot deep. And very wet/heavy. It'll all be gone in a couple days, we hope.

Welcome home, Sam!


The pool facilities at the club were all ready; had a soft opening
a few days ago. Supposed to open big time this weekend...


Early on, yesterday afternoon.

Advanced Choir Concert Spring 2019

Fina's final choir concert of middle school was tonight. And we thoroughly enjoyed it. We expect Fina's group to be good, but the concert was wonderful all around. Couldn't believe the sound they got out of the boys groups! Bravo to all! Program (PDF).


Nana was taking the pics!

Lynn Foster, official Train Chaser

Lynn became an official train chaser today after quickly crossing a busy road on crutches and broken foot to catch a glimpse of #4014 and #844 leaving Ogden, UT on its return to Cheyenne, WY. It was pure happenstance that we happened to be at the right place at the right time on our way out of town.

A few more of these pics here.













The rest of the day's story...

Our home on the way home:
The Elizabeth Hotel in Fort Collins, CO

The whole place has a retro music theme. Very cool.
Every room had one.





























Very fun restaurant.




Fabulous way to do the cucumber garnish!
