Well has been a few days so need to do a bit of catch-up here.
Wednesday we got a visit from Son and GS#3. I had sent in some radio equipment for repair and he brought that along with some mail that appeared important but turned out to be no so much. We are having our mail forwarded to his address while we are out here . I also got a package at my remote site for my sister and spend some time testing and checking her HD for errors and problems. Her old computer died and I figured it was the power supply so getting a docking unit to check the HD to make sure she hadn’t lost her pictures was first up. It can be used later as a back up drive holder. Wednesday afternoon we loaded up and headed to Lakewood. We have a little setting job to do on Thursday. On the way up we went through the Springs on I-25 and saw this.. knew they were in town for a show but didn’t realize they had their own train?
and it was a really long set of cars. Also noticed people hanging out some of the doors as we went by.
As the evening progressed I did my usual back deck set..
On Friday we had to get up way too early and go back to Colorado Springs to set with GS#3 while mom worked and Dad went to appointments… on the way we caught this…
and then I chased little one around till he had to set down… ha! or maybe it was the other way around?
Yep we had a really tough time of swinging and giggling…
Then after al the appointments we all went back to Lakewood for a few days of cousin on cousin… and it was pretty much like that. They both like cars and fought over every car picked up. and there were dozens to play with.
They were interested in the sand box and playing in the grass but there were some really nice flowers in the back yard now…
Last night we had some great grilled burgers and grilled squash… I hope to do the grilled chicken and jalapeno’s tonight. ?
Well we did get the chicken on the grill and most of it was gone by late… when the hockey player got home\e… Today I noticed a few mentor things
Yesterday the two little ones (one 2 1/2 and the other almost 2 spent a lot of time in the sand box… some fighting and some laughing… but this morning I noticed where Grandma had taken off the shoes of one boy… all that sand just from a 2 year olds shoes…
Once we all got around it was off to the special Empanada place and a walk through the weekend market down the street…
The place is small so we got the outdoor seating… wasn’t[‘t too bad but a bit warm in the sun..
Of course I got the Empanada lunch special… was pretty good… also notice the fried plantain on the plate over… not mine but we got some of that too..
Then it was on down the street to the market, craft show and I saw this guy showing how I was #1 today… wasn’t that cute of him?
She studied pretty hard on the humming bird cut out so I went in and got one… the smaller one but it was painted with pretty colors…
We went on around and picked up some honey then everyone determine3d it was time to get back to the house as the little ones were needed some nap time… I didn’t get mine and was plenty sore but oh well, I worked on daughters sprinklers and got most of it repaired of working… although she had replaced the controller last week with a “smart” controller that she can turn on with her phone… that is neat… but about 5pm we all figured we needed to hit the road back home… us to our rolling home down south and others to theirs… on the way south I did catch this rather unique set of vehicles…? not sure what they are for? but plenty unique.
Sorry , shot through the windshield during rain is not conducive to a great photo but you can see the oddity anyway.
