Grandparents Visit!--posted by katie

About a week ago my grandparents came all the way from Orlando, FL to pay us a visit! Needless to say, we were thrilled :) They got to stay for five days and two of those days we took pictures. One day we went to the Celestial Seasonings Tea Factory and then shopped around this adorable little town (well, actually, I READ around that town, but you get the idea). And another day we went to the mountains--Breckenridge, CO, for the day. Enjoy!

I love road pictures. My Grandma actually took this one.
Just so you know, I took little to none of these pictures. This is Patricia showing off some taste tests.
My dear Grandma.
What marvelous hats!
Mary :)
The reading club! You are looking at the people in our group who don't particularly care for window shopping and would rather sip tea or coffee and read a good book. Left to right: me, Grandpa, Robert.
OK, these pictures are of in the mountains! Here's a few meditative shots of Robert.


Somebody gets a shot of Gramps as he's trying to get a shot of me for his cell phone. Yes, I routinely eat while somebody's trying to get a picture of me (especially when I'm hungry!). And somehow the pictures always turn out OK. I guess I'm photogenic :)
I love love love this shot.

I love you, G and G!
How sweet :)
Still a lot of snow up there...
What a spectacular view!
And there's Mary. That sign says "high current" and this one lady, after getting a look at how close Mary was to the water, came up and warned us that SEVEN people had died in ONE week in this very stream! She said the current was much stronger than it looked. So we told Mary to step a bit back from that ledge :) Have a wonderful week!
