Visitors

A couple of weeks ago we got a visit from Sam's Dad and step-mom. It was so fun to have them here. There was a time, not to long ago when Oliver would have nothing to do with Grandpa Peay (it is a long story involving a missed touchdown pass by BYU and a lot of yelling and banging on the wall by Grandpa). Fortunately, Ollie seems to have put that bad memory behind him becuase he warmed right up to Grandpa, and of course what little kid wouldn't love Leslie - she just has a way with them. We had so much fun showing them around Colorado Springs and just hanging out.


We walked around Garden of the Gods and Ollie showed of his rock climbing skills.


We also visited the Flying W Ranch, it is a working cattle ranch with an old west town for visitors to tour. At night they serve a huge chuckwagon dinner followed by a concert with the Flying W Wranglers. It was so much fun, Oliver was a dancing fool when the music started. I'm sure some of the dancing was a result of the sugar high caused by the ice cream cone Grandpa bought him right before dinner, but then, what are grandpa's for if not to spoil their grandkids appetites!!


If grandpa wanted to find his way straight into Oliver's heart he sure picked the right activity when we went to Palmer Lake to throw rocks into the water. There were even ducks to feed and in Oliver's world life can get no better. We were sure sad when it was time for them to go.
