Roses in the Yard

Each year for my birthday, Jen gives me a mini-rose plant.  They are blooming so pretty right now.

Welcome Back Colorado Boys - Days 8 & 9

So, in theory the boys were originally supposed to leave in two days, but with the change, we are just gonna keep on rolling.  Grandpa lets me sleep in today and they are off to the coffee shop for breakfast.  I sure do love that man.

Welcome Back Colorado Boys - Day 7 with Cousins

Today we are going to have fun with the cousins.  Splash Kingdom is on the agenda and Jen is meeting us there.  She gets delayed a bit so we have some time to kill and make a stop at the Fort Worth Water Gardens.  I love this place so much.  It's been a few years since the boys have been here and Caleb doesn't remember it at all.  I guess that means it's good idea.

The first couple of times I brought kids here, I constantly worried about them falling in.  It didn't happen so I'm not quite the nervous nellie that I was then.

Welcome Back Colorado Boys - Days 5 & 6

With Grandpa working from home today, we have a car and are gonna use it.  Caleb REALLY wants to go to the aquarium and so we shall.  Quick - before it gets too hot out.

They choose to do the tanks first and spend quite a bit of time laughing at the various fish.  I have to agree that some of them are just pretty bizarre to look at.  The nautilus, for example.

Welcome Back Colorado Boys - Days 3 & 4

Day 3 and we have a plan.  I think.  The morning is spent just hanging out and then we walked down to the highway to catch a bus to the mall.

Cars 3 is on the agenda and I have to tell you -- I think it's my favorite of thee Cars movies.  Way to go Cruise.

After the movie, a quick stop at the LEGO store provides some fun and kills time all at once.

Welcome Back Colorado Boys - Days 1 & 2

The sun is going down as we arrive at Love Field to meet the plane bringing me my grandsons from Colorado.  I'm antsy as it is since they are flying alone for the first time, so the sunset keeps me occupied while I wait.

It's always hard to get a good picture through a window and even harder when you are stuck between two jet bridges, but it is pretty nevertheless.  My heart does love watching the sun rise and set.

Peticolas Fun - Date Night

Mister and I have not been out for a beer event in quite awhile.  Peticolas is having a special night of matching their regular drafts with special cask versions.  My sweetie loves cask beer and, thus, we are off for some fun.

The venue is indeed full, but everyone is having a great time and the beer is unlimited.
