What a wonderful two weeks in Colorado!

I have a smile on my face every time I think of my trip to Paonia, Colorado to visit my daughter Kim and her family.
What did I do while there............went on walks with Katie and Hunter, made a dragon cake with Katie and Hunter, used my imagination to tell stories, picked fresh nectarines, helped Kim cut corn off the cob for the freezer, went wild mushroom hunting, stayed up late most nights laughing and reminiscing with Kim, played Yahtzee with Mike and Kim, played hide and go seek, watched Katie and Hunter have an egg hunt, went to a dinosaur museum, took Katie and Hunter to playgrounds and had picnic suppers, played old maid and candy land games, did projects, listened to Katie play the piano, went to Katie's first horseback riding lesson, watched Hunter use his imagination with dinosaurs, collected rocks with Katie & Hunter to use at VBS and I was Duke, the dog puppet for a VBS skit, Hunter & I guarded the ice cream machine while homemade ice cream was being made, read stories and was read to by Katie Joy, went to church on Sundays and Wednesdays and received wonderful hugs and greetings from Kim and Mike's church family, helped with baths and gave Hunter and Katie airplane rides using bath towels, went to Katie's soccer practices and first soccer game, babysat while MaMa and Daddy went hunting for bear and elk, hung laundry on the clothes line with a beautiful view of Lamb Born Mountain in front of me, while kids, chickens, Oreo and Drake played and enjoyed the fresh air around me, watched as Hunter and Katie went from one end of the swing set to the other end without touching their feet to the ground, and oh so much more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
