Colorado Visit -- May, 2017


We had a delightful trip to Colorado to visit Mike and Desi and their children Emily 11, Mordecai 9, Ruby 6, Ivy 4, and Milly 13 months.  


Fort Collins LDS Temple


Emily playing the piano.  Five butterflies hatched in the butterfly cage (see cage on piano) while we were there.


Milly loves books.

Ruby asks, "Grandpa, relax me!"


Ruby, Emily, and Ivy watch Milly take her turn dancing.



We visited the Denver Museum of Nature and Science on a rainy Saturday afternoon.

Inside, in the dinosaur exhibit



Emily made good time on the bike in the health exhibition.


Emily from Seussical, the Musical.

Mordecai, Ruby, and Emily all had parts in their school musical for which they practiced for months. They could say everyone's lines and knew everyone's songs and cues.  It was delightful to see them perform for us.  Next year we want to see the production live!

Milly likes all kinds of foods.

Mordecai put this 3D puzzle temple together completely by himself.  He must have engineering genes.


Eventually Emily and Mordecai put together five temples.


Mike went on a 20 mile bike ride on Memorial Day.  Notice the new smooth cement driveway!


If jumping on the trampoline is fun for Ivy then...



let's get the whole family in on the action.

Milly is such a tease!

Ruby has very strong arms and swings across the monkey bars with ease.

Milly loved playing and imitated every part of the game.
