I have been so very blessed to be able to visit and enjoy my wonderful family. It has been a long time since we have been able to see each other. I had so much fun staying with my Grandma and being able to celebrate her birthday while I was there. She was able to make another necklace using the leftover beads from the necklace we had made previously. It looks really pretty on against the skin. We went swimming one day over at my uncles house with my cousins. The temperature had gotten up to 117! So we were very hot and in need of a nice cool pool. Her birthday was last week and my uncle took us out to dinner to a delicious Italian restaurant. My dad was able to be there as well, as he was passing through town and I was able to hitch a ride back to Colorado with him! The Colorado weather is heavenly right now! Afternoon showers and beautiful dark fluffy clouds :) Happily enjoying my parents and siblings before I head on up to Ohio to visit Marie, Jon and little Zane. I have a bunch more photos to post of all the things we have been up to the last couple of days. :) I'll be back soon with more!
