It was Glorious!!


I got to spend my 4th of July weekend with Bella and Dylan and their parents.  Dustin and Kayla came along too.  What a fun, family weekend we had....starting with an old fashioned BBQ in the middle of a rain storm!!  Yes, that's my son from Deadliest Catch fame BBQing our burgers on his porch!

Then Miss Bella had to show grandma her princess dress and a few ballerina moves!


The best part was getting to touch those two precious grandbabies onces again.  Little Dylan came right up to each of us and sat on our laps and just smiled.  He was so happy to see ALL of us!

Miss Bella got to spend the night in the motel with us....doesn't she look cute in her Cracker Barrel dress??
Then it was off to the Rockies game for the 4th...BUT of course we got rained on first.  They had a thunderstorm every afternoon while we were there.  






I love that smile!!!




It was such a beautiful day that we took a walk to the park where we had a little family fun.  The guys played basketball and chicken on the low balance beam.  Lots of laughing and fun!







Then it was onto bowling!  Dallas loves to bowl...it's family fun!  Can you tell these two are brothers???




Dallas teaching his kiddos to bowl!  


Dylan got his first lesson and enjoyed it!  Clapping for himself as the ball rolled down the alley!


We had to see a little more of Colorado so we headed to the mountains near the Red Rocks and went for a hike.  It was a gorgeous day with gorgeous surroundings and views.



The remnants of the Walker home high up on the mountain.
Views of the Red Rocks!

Love those clouds and the blue skies!
What a great place for a photo!  
Here all of us are at a place where the people of Colorado were going to build a home for President's to vacation in.  It was never completed.  Gorgeous views and lots of lady bugs...I had never seen so many and they bite!!!
Look at all the lady bugs on this rock and they were flying all around us too.  
My DIL, Selena and I enjoying the view of the Red Rocks.
Bella wanted to show me how she can swim with her floating swim suit or her babing suit as she calls it!

Dylan likes the water too but can't yet float on his own.


It all came to an end too soon but what a great 4th of July we all had!  Thanks Dallas and Selena for your hospitality!  We sure enjoyed seeing you and can't wait to come back again!

Just a little something from Judy said...

A caring, fun family...time spent in Colorado...precious little ones...and a grandma with a camera...what could be more fun!! I love hearing about your family and the good times you all have together. I do think your little granddaughter looks so much like you. Do others think that? Thanks for sharing your joy.

Looks like a wonderful holiday...I love 'babing suit'-that's what my daughter used to call hers and we all still use that word 20 years later.

Loved seeing the Red Rocks...my dad was from Broomfield and my grandparents had a farm there so we spent lots of summer holidays in CO...so beautiful!

What great family pictures! I bet you were in heaven with those two little adorable ones (and their parents too!)

We were in Colorado a few weeks ago and had a wonderful time. I love Red Rocks. I couldn't believe all of the people out exercising in the Red Rocks ampitheater itself, going up and down those stairs...what great exercise!

All of those ladybugs are insane!

PS. You have a great haircut!
