Stewart Visit October 2008

The wonderful nephews, Ben's parents and Kari, our sister in-law and wonderful mother to the nephews, came to visit us in CO Springs. We had such a wonderful time while they were here. Saturday we took a fun train ride through the Royal Gorge. We sat at this booth, ordered some hot chocolate and watched while we ran next to the Arkansas River to to amazing Royal Gorge Bridge.

The nephews up bright and early with Uncle Ben. Nick, the baby, was just talking and talking. It made Ryan laugh.

Ben drove Ryan around in the Dune Buggy. He had alot of fun.

Grandmas turn.

First stop....Coffee for the wife and sunflower seeds for the husband. We are off to Buena Vista and Salida! Thanks for the wonderful surprise love!

Second stop.....Goodies at Walmart

Ben took us up there for the wonderful fall colors. The Aspens were all changing colors. It was breath taking.

This outdoor furniture was made of cement. It was so cool!

My fisherman in all his new gear from his birthday money.

The "big" one. He caught about 20 that day as I listened to the river and read a book.
