Vacation Revisited

Home again!  Laundry is done.  Overgrown lawn and flower gardens have been subdued (mostly).  Now it's time to reflect.
We were so happy to arrive in Colorado before dark.  We were greeted with a spectacular sunset over the mountains,
while on the east, a peaceful full moon was rising over the plains.
For awhile, we were "rubber-necking" as we looked back and forth between the opposing scenes.  What a pleasant surprise when we arrived at Ryan & Jamie's to have the girls still up, and ready to visit with us.  An even more pleasant surprise was Marta's ready acceptance of us--no shyness on her part! 
The next morning, the busy week began with Elley off to EFY.  The girls were happy to be able to see her dorm room,
after which we visited the park.
I wondered if Jane would be comfortable with us, but there was no shyness on her part either, even when Ryan bid us goodbye and went to his office to put in some needed hours.
Jamie had several activity options planned for our week, things we could do with the three girls while Jamie rested at home with Nellie.  One place we visited was a petting farm.
We took a picnic lunch and thoroughly enjoyed playing together.
And that play included
 snuggling in my bed, 
or playing dress-up.
Such dolls!
