Visitors, Round 1

Last weekend we hosted Mom-mom and Pop-pop for their first trip to see us in Colorado. The fun included tours of town, time in their hotel pool, a trip to the summit of Pike's Peak, and a fantastic Phillies-Rockies game at Coors Field: Phillies down the whole game, then in the ninth inning with two outs, a full count, and I don't know how many foul balls in a row, the pinch hitter knocked a two-run homer out of the park to tie it. At the top of the tenth the Phillies led off with another homer, and the Rockies failed to answer. I think Pop-pop felt the 2500-mile drive was worth it.

The girls had been waiting weeks for Pop-pop to come work with them on baseball/softball skills.

A few more pictures to come, when we find our camera...which we'll also need to post about our next set of visitors.
