Not all work in Denver

We put in a good amount of work while we were with the kids, but we also had time for some "play".

We took walks - 

If they live here long enough, perhaps Grandbaby #6 will play here!

I won't hold my breath that any subsequent grandbabies will, since I believe my daughter moves more than any other person I know!  She does not let any grass grow under her feet!!  However, there is talk of a home in the mountains, and that could be their "for good" house.   -   well, until that "mansion" in the sky!  The King James Bible calls it "mansion" but the real word is mone, meaning "a staying, dwelling, abode".   I wonder what that will look like?

"In My Father's house are many dwelling places (some versions say "room").  If it were not so, I would have told you, because I am going there to prepare a place for you."  John 14:3  

A promise to look forward to those who believe in Jesus and who follow Him! 

Bear loves loves loves to chase bunnies!  He doesn't catch them, but he loves the hunt!

I need to bring my big camera lens and sit down and get photos of migrating birds!

When Mindy lived here, she and I LOVED going to the Parade of Homes or just driving around looking at houses.  We did a little of that too!

She drove me to a shopping/restaurant area.  It all used to be part of Lowry Airforce base.

"The Francis B. Lowry Airfield, first established in 1937, was and is an integral part of America’s history. The War Department tasked Lowry Airfield with training more than 55,000 men annually for World War II combat. Following WWII, Lowry Airfield became Lowry Air Force Base and continued to serve the Air Force into the 1990s.

The Lowry Air Force Base was closed in 1994 as part of a national downsizing of the US armed forces. In order to ensure that the almost 1,900-acre site would be efficiently and suitably re-incorporated into the surrounding community, the Denver and Aurora City Councils approved the Lowry Community Reuse Plan. The Lowry Redevelopment Authority (LRA) was also created to acquire and redevelop the base. The Reuse Plan called for a mixed-use, master planned community consisting of tree-lined boulevards and quiet residential streets. The community would also carefully integrate office and commercial space into Denver’s newest neighborhood — to be known simply as Lowry."

Of course, eating together was part of our time together!

Then...dessert at another spot!

This place had unusual flavours, like Earl Grey Ice-cream.  Hmmm, interesting.

We ate more while we played games.

You know the saying, don't you? " "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" is a proverb. It means that without time off from work, a person becomes both bored and boring. The exact origins of the phrase remain unclear, though it was recorded as early as 1659. "
