The Connelly Grandparents first visit



The Connelly's arrived on 9/20/08 to a beautiful fall here in Colorado.  They got to see the Aspen at their finest.

G Ma C loved holding Sage, feeding her, babysitting-basically doing all the wonderful 'grandma things' one can do.  

We got out and enjoyed the gorgeous weather as much as we could.  This picture is from Monarch Lake hike at the south end of Lake Granby.  We showed up to hear that a bull moose was just seen by the water.  Of course, we ran to that area but no bull moose was to be found. G Ma C carried Sage on the whole hike!  I think she loved it!  I know Sage did.

G Pa C also took to holding Sage.  I think she loved it too, as you can see from this photo!

Darcy's been wanting to rent a pontoon boat on Lake Granby for awhile.  So thanks to her loving husband, she got her wish.  The lake was so calm and peaceful.  We were the only ones on the lake!  Sage loved being the captain although she didn't quite reach the steering wheel.  The dogs were able to join us which really made it all worthwhile.

G Pa C didn't get to relax the whole trip.  He had to help John with the log cabin building. So far, they  got about 4 ft of walls!  It may be ready for sleeping in by the next time the Connelly grandparents visit.  Ha!  We had a great time visiting and look forward to so many memories with Sage and the family.
