Navy Leap Frogs

Before the start of the Reds - Mariners baseball game we were
given a parachute demonstration by the Navy Leap Frogs - the Seals from San Diego. What fun to see these guys
perform. They were very well received by the baseball crowd.

Reds vs. Mariners, Peoria, AZ

Bright sunny day and we took in another ball game between the Reds and the Mariners... Griffey Jr. hit a grandslam in the 9th to win it for the Mariners.

Colorado Scenery

Trip from El Mirage - Colorado

On 11-19 March we took a break from Pueblo El Mirage to make a surprise drive Boulder, Colorado to help Grandma Whitcomb celebrate her 92nd birthday. Guess we succeeded and the 2200 mile round trip was worth the four days of travel. We also celebrated the engagement of our daughter Colby to Joe Baker ( they are made for each other ) and our other daughter Kari's first house. All three celebrations were first rate and here's some of the scenery we took in while in Colorado.

Baseball in Surprise, AZ

Went to a Cactus League game between the Colorado Rockies and The KC Royals. Very nice park and one can even find some shade if you buy your tickets early enough - We bought em early but chose the wrong side. Still we were RIGHT behind the Rockies dugout and it was a real slugfest.

Blooming Cactus

As we're currently residents of Tennesse we don't very often get to see what cactus look like when they're about to bloom or have already done so. Here's three pics of these prickley plants at their bloomin best.

Dinner with the girls

On our last night we had dinner with the two girls. Will be awhile before we get together with them for awhile.

Grandma's Birthday Dinner

The family gathered for a lovely birthday dinner at Grandma's residence - the Manor. Happy Birthday Grandma and may you have many more.

Celebration Photos

We made our pilgrimage from El Mirage, AZ to Boulder, CO to surprise Grandma Whitcomb on her 92nd birthday. We also had the opportunity to celebrate Colby's engagement and Kari's newly purchased house. Lots of things happening with our Colorado girls.

Cougar Canyon, Trinidad, CO

We stopped to look at properties at a home and golf course community called Cougar Canyon. As you can see this high desert community is just beginning to blossom and the golf course is very highly regarded in golfing circles. We also met one of the builder/architects and it just so happens he grew up one town over from where Ted spent his younger days - eons ago. Carl - the architect - is a graduate of Rhode Island School of Design in Providence. Small world.

Raton Pass

Along I -25

Traveling enroute to Trinidad and across Raton Pass we again went from a high desert environment to another snowy mountain pass. We're traveling on 11 March 2010.
