Dipsticks to Taekwondo

Thought we'd better get these last couple weeks of pics up before Nana and Papa head to California tomorrow.

"Where's the dipstick?"

Fall in the backyard.

Buttermilk is now Notes.

Nana and Papa enjoyed this jazz duo at Notes for breakfast.

We caught her last song, a PDQ Bach piece.
Fina is in the center in front of Liam (red shirt).

Lexi and Jonnie's new room.

In their bathroom: Jamie's Mom embroidered this.

Guess who got her first bar at Taekwondo!
And a sucker!

Pumpkin Patch

The whole fam damily headed to the Pumpkin Patch today for 4+ hours of non-stop fun! There was also a final stop at Fiiz to quench the thirsts. All the photos are here.

Steamboat Springs, CO

Lynn and Jamie did a little getaway to Steamboat Springs, CO (about 3.5 hours from home). See the captions below for details. All the trip photos are here.

Bread + Salt, a favorite in Frisco, CO.

The Laundry, a new favorite
restaurant in "The Boat."

The Steamboat Springs Depot - more here.

On the main drag.
("Drag" is an aerodynamic term!)

F. M. Light & Sons, since 1909.
They said they had over 400 boots.

The Botanical Gardens

Relaxing at the Tread of Pioneers Museum.

We caught the High School Homecoming parade.

We took a trip up to the base of the ski slopes.
Almost nothing going on, but we did
manage to have a fine drink at Los Locos.

Mambo Italiano

Our home away from home (BnB). Hot tub to the right...

These signs started miles before town!
Just like Burma Shave...

Yet another new fave in Georgetown, 511 Rose.

Tracy's Last Sunday Teaching

All said and done... For now.

Closing Night: Oliver!

A cereal cast-and-crew party!

The banner moved to the cast party house.

Watching the slide show of production photos.

We amassed quite the bundle of flowers.

Final resting place in our garage (with approval).

Oliver!

Oliver! opened tonight at DCC Theatre! Starring Fina as Nancy and Antonio (AJ) as Oliver. The week prior they were knee-deep in tech week and Tracy organized the dinner for 65 cast and crew each weeknight. Fortunately, many of the parents stepped to the plate so it went off without a hitch.

A lucky "money shot"

The iconic line...

Nana made Challah for a tech-week dinner.

Yes, they used AJ as the model for the poster.
