My parents came to visit and we packed as much into the short time they were here as we could. Right after we picked them up from the airport we packed lunch and headed to Castlewood Canyon for a hike to the “rock forts” as my kids call them.
The next day our sweet Logan got baptized. He planned the service himself, picked the songs, made phone calls to his Primary teacher and our Home Teacher for talks, asked his sister and piano teacher to give prayers. Barry baptized him and he asked my dad to confirm him. It was so sweet and beautiful and a wonderful reflection of Logan and who he is and who he loves at this time in his life.
I’m kicking myself that I didn’t get a picture and Logan and Papa together.
On the last day their flight didn’t leave until 9:00 pm, so we had some adventures that day too. The weather was perfect for visits to Dinosaur Ridge and Red Rocks.
Our tour guide Dan-o-saurus took us back 150 million years to touch some stegosaurus bones. You can then the bones from the rest of the rock because of their color, texture, and taste (so Jonah licked the rock).
Here are some dinosaur foot prints from underneath.
Logan is being stepped on by an apatosaurus.
Back in the 1930s when they were building Alameda Highway they uncovered this field of iguanadon foot prints. The footprints are colored in with charcoal to make them more visible. Pretty amazing, huh?
We made a quick stop at Red Rocks to see it, then wandered around Ikea for lunch on the way home.
We love you Granny and Papa! It was so fun to have you here. See you again soon!
How wonderful! I love the great pictures and seeing your cute family. So great to see Randy and Diana with their grand kids.
We love you too! Was SO FUN to be with you all.
