Jon, Karen and Walker Ficklin visit us in Colorado!

We had a great time having Steve's sister Karen and her husband Jon Ficklin and their baby Walker come and visit us a few weeks ago. We spent some time at the Denver Zoo. This elephant is a life-size cut-out advertising the new exhibit they're building, but from a distance it looks real. The first time we saw it when we came around the corner it kind of freaked us out.
Our last Denver Zoo trip. (Our membership expired 2 days later and since we're moving soon we decided not to renew it)


We took Jon to the famous BMX dirt bike track. I think this was his favorite part of the whole trip!


Jon and Karen with Walker at the Colorado Rockies baseball game. It was a beautiful night with lots of scoring, home runs and a 2 out bottom of the ninth rally for 2 runs that gave the Rockies the victory. It was a really exciting game....a bit too exciting (and loud) for Walker.



Jon really got into the 47 waves that the Rockies faithful were determined to do! We had a great time having them though and welcome any and all visitors!

That elephant really does look real!! So, you're moving soon ... any idea where you might be going? Please don't leave the state before we can get together again! :)
