Since today is Eric's birthday, we celebrated on the night we arrived. We haven't been with them for his birthday for years so it was good to mark the day this year.
The weather was warm enough we could sit outside before dinner, something you can't do in Colorado at this time of the year.
Kylie is on two swim teams, her high school team and a club team. One of the coaches wanted her to keep up her pool workouts while they were on their trip so two days she swam laps in our resort pool--for an hour each day!
John has been spending a lot of time turning pens and he taught grandson John how to do that while they were here. Papa showed John where to hold the turning gouge.
Then he demonstrated how to do the work.
John learned quickly how to change to square piece of wood into a found pen body.
After sanding and putting on a finish and waxing the pen, here he proudly shows it off. Papa and John and a good time together.
We enjoyed the family visit and were glad they were able to spend some time here. We just wish it happened more often.
