A Morning in the Park

HC and family took us to Platte River State Park, for breakfast and a few park activities. HC and his dad and I climbed the tower for a better view of the river. Farmer Ken and HC's Mom waited at the bottom. We then walked to a Tee Pee and imagined what it was like to have lived in one similar to this one, when the native Americans inhabited the plains.
Farmer Ken is doing well after the surgery and walking around alot (sometimes he forgets the cane!)

Happy July 4th

With American flags flying in the morning sun, it is a perfect holiday!
We took the opporutnity to get Farmer Ken out of the house after his hip replacement a week ago Tuesday and go for a drive and a differnet kind of rehab! He insisted on hiking a trail for a ways. A rare sight to see a man with a walker on one of these trails! PLUS those darn white hose!





Rock Climbers were scaling the Independence Monument in the Colorado National Monument. It was incredible sight with the valley in the background.


It makes me wonder if coming down is worse than going up? Anyone have any ideas?
