Thursday in Colorado - Last Day

Today was our last day with our son, Wade Daniel, daughter-in-law, Marie, and granddaughter, Juliet. It has been a great visit.

Wade Daniel and Marie went to see the Blue Man Group last night. During the show, they wanted two people to come up and they selected Wade Daniel as one of the two. They put a blue t-shirt onto Wade Daniel. One of the Blue Men threw paint balls to another who caught them in his mouth, squeezed them and then spit the colors out onto the t-shirt creating this work of art and great souvenir:


The last thing he did was to spit a blue paint ball onto his hand and left a hand print on Wade Daniel's right shoulder. Here's a close up of their Blue Man signature:


Wade Daniel wore the t-shirt the rest of the night and was a hero to the rest of the crowd. He said that when they came over to him and Marie he was thinking, "No, no, not me." Afterwards he was glad he was picked because it was so much fun.

We had lunch with Wade Daniel and Marie at Chili's today and that was a lot of fun.

When Juliet came home Betty was holding her. Wade Daniel was getting their dog, Kona, to do tricks. She will sit, give a high five with both paws, lay down, play dead, roll over, and spin around. Every time she spun around Juliet started laughing and giggling. This was the first time she has laughed so obviously at something without being tickled. We were glad that we were here for that first in her young life.

We head back home tomorrow, Friday, so we'll be on the road all day so no post tomorrow. We'll try to get back to it on Saturday.

We'll show one more picture of Juliet:


Since this is a blog about horses, we'll close with a picture we got from a friend in England, Geoff Box. Geoff has a great horse named Dyce. This is the picture we received today showing Dyce at the beach ready for his swim:



Have a great day and God's blessings to everyone.

"hero of the night"? A father's pride in his son is showing!

We had a great visit with you, and we miss you already! Juliet missed you so much that she went right to sleep for an hour and a half this morning!

Give your horses a neck hug for us!

Good times! I'm with Marie--I would NEVER want to go on stage. I would always send Max in my place. In fact, I wouldn't even want to go up to collect a prize! EEK. It's a good thing there are people out there, like brave Wade Daniel, willing.

I would love to post that horse picture on my blog! May I? May I? I won't even claim it as my own! :) Seeing that shot opens a world of possibilites for us. Hmmm. Fundraising--get your picture with Smokey Claus. How about Buck the Bunny? The world is now our oyster.

Hope you had a great trip home.

One of our horses just may benefit from this post... Stormie is always hesitant to cross water. I'll try carrying the inflatable life preserver for her first, finding a snorkel and mask to fit will be difficult, and the water is rarely deeper tha 1" anyway. thanks for the inspiration! mark
