| Memaw took a little walk with Lydia behind our cabin.
Papa and Mommy getting back from a walk and trying to catch up with Memaw and Lydia:
In years past, you couldn't have taken these pictures (from the porch of our cabin) because of the number of trees. Unfortunately, a pine beetle has destroyed many of the trees in this area. We all missed the beautiful trees and the soughing (learned that word from Papa!) wind through the pines, but we were also able to appreciate the view of the mountains more and the blue, blue sky.
Here we are, down by Riverbend, remembering that there use to be a circle drive. And last time were in CO, there were 7-8 trees in the middle of the circle. Now there are none.
There are so many little pines and aspens starting now and the wildflowers are more vibrant than we have ever seen them. And from our cabin we were able to see more of the mountains and skyline than we had before. So, even though we miss the trees, there is still so much to enjoy and be thankful to see!

| Papa informed all the grandkids that if they were quiet, we might actually see some wildlife. I wasn't too hopeful, since we were going out in the middle of the afternoon. But, the kids were rewarded for their efforts! A Mama Moose and some offspring and the mule deer in the 2nd picture! It was very exciting!

| Papa with 2 out of 3 of his granddaughters. He was willing to let them help him pick out scrabble tiles. A very patient Papa!
