Grammy came to visit

Over the last week we were able to have some fun with (Derek's Mom) AKA GRAMMY!! We also had some fun with family that live here Derek's Uncles, Aunts, and some cousins. Each day we did something like shopping, BBQ's, Potlucks, Eating out, movie nights, playing at the park, swimming, play tennis, pull weeds :), walks in the neighborhood, watched the fireworks at the Sky Sox stadium, and took a day trip to the Royal Gorge.

It was neat to experience the Royal Gorge, since I've never been there and it has been years since Derek or Grammy have been there. We rode the Aerial tram across the gorge, rode the incline railway down to the bottom, and walked across the suspension bridge (that was scary to me). I had to kiss the ground once we got across. :) Some other attractions were: the Wildlife Park watching buffalo, elk, and sheep. There was also a petting zoo. Cassidy had the chance to play with baby goats and it was so cute to watch them follow her. She also had the chance to ride a donkey named June. It was her first ride. She really enjoyed it. In the park there was also a Western town, a fancy Carousel (we could ride as many times as we wanted), and of course a nice gift shop. We're all glad we went!

No matter what we were doing while Grammy was here we enjoyed each other's company and had a wonderful time. For the last couple of months anytime Cassidy would see an airplane she would think Grammy was in it and would get excited. When the time finally came for Grammy to be here it seemed like it was time to say good-bye. Time went by so fast. As we drove off from dropping Grammy off at the airport today, all Cassidy could do and say was Bye Grammy, miss you, and blow kisses. We definitely will miss her and look forward to her visit again.
