Grandma Migde's Visit

Like I mentioned in the last post, we were lucky enough to have Grandma Midge all to ourselves for over a week. We tried to fit in a few fun activities between naps, feedings, and Brett's busy school schedule. 


 On October 3rd we attempted to go look at fall leaves but we were a little late and most had fallen to the ground already. We didn't let that ruin the drive though. We stopped at a little roadside diner in Empire, CO called Dairy King where Evy sat in a high chair for the first time and took a stroll around Echo Lake near Mount Evans.

 



On October 5th Brett skipped out or school early and we drove to Colorado Springs and went to Garden of The Gods and the beautiful Broadmoor Hotel.


On the drive back Evy started "talking" to herself in the mirror that is on the seat in front of her carseat that allows me to visualize her through the rearview mirror. 


 On Saturday, October 6th, we went to another of Brett's flag football games. We decided Grandma brought the cold Alaska weather with her because it was freezing! When we got home we relaxed and watched LDS General Conference.




Evy "talked" to her toys while sitting in her incline chair. So cute!

On Sunday we went to the Johnston's apartment for our traditional conference weekend breakfast and introduced Midge to some of our good friends. We spent the rest of the day enjoying one another's company.


 That night Midge made a yummy surprise BIRTHDAY dinner for ME! My birthday was that Tuesday, but Midge was leaving before then so we have an early celebration.


It sure was a fun visit! Can't wait to see Grandma in Denver again soon!
