Grandma Time in Colorado

I flew to Colorado to visit Tyler, Rachel and Andrew during Spring break. Tyler had to work some late hours while I was in town, but Rachel graciously entertained me while Tyler was at work.
 At almost nine months old, Andrew didn't have any teeth, but that didn't stop him from feeding himself baby food!!
     We took a walk to the park, where Andrew practiced his standing skills.

 Andrew is mostly a happy and easy-going little guy, who's very photogenic like his mother.
 We did lots of fun outdoor activities, like visiting the site of this mansion built out in the canyon.
 The following two pictures were taken in Manitou Springs, at the foot of Pike's Peak.
 Manitou Springs was a picturesque little town.
Rachel and I went walking with Andrew at the Red Rock Canyon Open Space.
 One morning when Tyler was home we went to a park along a stream, and Andrew had fun on the playground.
 The weather was comfortably warm, but you can see the leaves hadn't come out on the trees yet.


 Andrew loves to ride on his daddy's shoulders.

It's always delightful to visit our children and grandchildren in their homes. I had a lovely visit and enjoyed getting to know Rachel and Andrew better.

Tyler and Rachel are always so good about having fun stuff to do around where they live, and the weather seems to be nice enough to do outdoor stuff, too! Lucky :) Andrew sure is a smiley little guy, and I do think he looks a lot like Rachel still.

I agree with Adri. It looks like you have some great outside things to do. Andrew is just adorable. It looked like you all had a good time together. It's so nice that Grandma can visit! :)
