A visit from Grandma and Grandpa

I pulled a Ruth and I put all the pictures in backwards order - so you are going to get our weekend in backwards order - sorry!!! (You may want to scroll to the bottom and read up) And Ruth, if I've left anything out you'll have to add it!

Truth be told, even though it may seem like we did alot, we really didn't do much because Grandma and Grandpa brought the snow with them when they came and when it snows here everything closes down including the base. Saturday afternoon and Sunday were the only days we could get out to do anything. We did have a lot of fun and wish they could've stayed longer.

After church we went for a ride. We tried to go up Pike's Peak but the roads were still closed from the snow. We ended up at a place called Seven Falls. It was really pretty. We got to ride an elevator to the top view. Morgan, Cash and I climbed the 224 steps to the top of the waterfall - my legs still hurt!! After that we drove around Garden of the Gods and stopped at the gift shop there.

Look who's all handsome and ready for church!

They weren't giving anymore tours for the day but we got to hang out in the gift shop for awhile.

After we finished at the Academy we went to the Olympic Training Center where Cash convinced Grandma that he really needed a ball. He walked around the gift shop playing with the ball and yelling "Ball, Ball, Ball" over and over. (Grandma is such a sucker)

This is the Catholic Chapel.

Then we went over the the Cadet Chapel. It is a really neat building. The top floor is for catholics, the front half of the bottom floor is for Protestant (I think) and the back half has several smaller chapels such as Muslim and Budhist.

We went to the Air Force Academy visitor's center. Cash loved climbing on the airplane and he learned to say bird - with the help of Grandma.

Cash loved having Grandpa here and using him as a body pillow to lay on and watch Sesame Street.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDMA!!!

I've been meaning to get this done sooner but boy does time go by fast. The first night Grandma and Grandpa were here we celebrated Grandma's birthday.
