This weekend brought us some very special visitors ... Grandma and Grandpa Keary! We enjoyed giving them the tour of Colorado Springs. Since Grandpa Ted attended the Air Force Academy, that was our first destination with stops at the Cadet Chapel and Visitor's Center. Then we continued with lunch at Salsa Brava and a driving tour of Garden of the Gods and Downtown Colorado Springs. We returned home for a little rest & relaxation ... and then a family dinner with a Hawaiian luau flair (Char siu glazed pork and pineapple in Hawaiian sweet rolls, pineapple drop martinis, avocado & papaya salad, carmelized Maui onion dip with chips, coconut lime shrimp skewers, and vanilla ice cream with hazelnut chocolate sauce and toasted coconut for dessert). Happy hula tummies! To make the evening even better, we were able to join both sets of grandparents together for this family dinner with Jami's parents attending, too!
Today, we awoke to sunny skies (yesterday was a bit overcast), so we enjoyed the fresh mountain air this morning with a combination of walking, running, biking, strolling ... depending on your personal fitness mode. We then ventured to one of our favorites -- Fox Run Regional Park -- to grill and chill at the park surrounded by all the beautiful pines. As the evening rolled around, we were sad to say goodbye to Mimi Margie and Papa Ted, but we were so thankful for the wonderful memories shared during their visit!
The boys loved having Mimi Margie read them books at bedtime!
