On our way to Arizona we were able to stop and spend a few days visiting with Dare and his sweet family. With Holly being in the Navy we are never able to spend as much time as we would like visiting with her. One afternoon we were able to go to the beach and do a bit of hiking. It was a gorgeous day, and thankfully they were pretty easy on us! This is something that they do often so they are always up and ready for it!
It was a pretty good hike down to the beach...of course the boys found plenty of distractions a long the way!
Jared above and Dj below...our precious little grandson's are growing up so fast!

I LOVE this pic of their family! The weather and colors were stunning! Gotta love fall!
Oh Dj...how you melt my heart!
Dare and his boys looking for hermit crabs.
Beautiful couple...love them both!
Mike and I took a walk a long the beach and he was feeding the seagull's. His biggest concern was getting poo-ed on and my biggest concern was getting a few photos!

We were able to have lunch with all the kids the Sunday before we left Tennessee. What a great time! Our nephew Caleb who is in the army came down with his wife Jackie on Saturday and were able to finally get to meet some of their cousins. Caleb and Jackie will be welcoming Isabelle (Bella) in just a few short weeks!
This is the group of family that was there...Back row L to R are Jackie, Caleb, Josh, Chelsea, Lacye Kevin, Darrell, Paige, Mike, Deb & Webster. Front row L to R are Meredith, Wyatt, Lily, Shelby, & Audrey
When everyone arrived some of the family played a game of two of botchie ball.
Caleb was digging one of the balls out of the brush. I was certain he was going to come out with a good case of chigger's!
Little Lily belongs to Josh & Chelsea.
Sweet, sweet couple.

At the end of our time with David, Sarah and Jax we had the opportunity to head down to Aspen for a few days camping. What a great four days....
David and Sarah camped at Silver Queen...such a beautiful spot.
Jax at the end of the day with his Papa...one sleepy little mister.
What would camping be without bath time?!
Beautiful blue eyes!

Hiking to Crater Lake we took a much needed break after we arrived.
Yeah, I'd kiss that little man too!
Sarah was not thrilled with the restroom facilities....
Yep, one dirty little guy!
Mom, dad and Jax hanging out before dinner...
Happy little guy...
The night before we left Sarah and I took Jax to a grove of Aspen's and took several photos...such a handsome little guy....
We have been in Colorado visiting David and Sarah and lil' Jax for about three weeks now. We have had a great time with them. We have been to swim lessons, camping, a first birthday party and just lots of playing. Two more weeks to go and then we head East.
