Grandma Fisher's Big Adventure

JoAnn, Adam's mother, was visiting us for eight days. We have many pictures from our adventures. We also spent some relaxing time at home. We took the rental van that JoAnn picked up all the way up to the Red Feather Lakes of Colorado for Gwen's baptism. JoAnn was a wonderful guest and we all had a great time.

This is Grandma Fisher with Gwen near the White Sands National Monument. These cactus plants are seen often in people's yards. This was outside of the visitor's center.

JoAnn was dancing in the white gypsum sands. It doesn't get hot like sand made of silicone. It is blinding white though.

Here's another view of the white sands.

This is a pistachio tree that is eight years old. JoAnn, Gwen and I went to the pistachio ranch gift store and these were outside near it.

This is what pistachio nuts look like when they are on the tree still.

This is in Colorado Springs from the Garden of the gods visitor center balcony. JoAnn, Gwen and I walked around this area while Adam was working.


The sun was in Gwen's face in this one, but she really did enjoy it here. I promise. ;)

This was Gwen and me.

We took JoAnn out for a Mother's Day dinner at a mexican restaurant in Las Cruces....an hour east of Alamogordo. It's decor was authentic looking. The fountain behind us was neat.

This is the van. She was a good van. A mighty good van. We were in northern New Mexico at a gas station.

We stopped in Castle Rock on our way back to visit with our neighbors and check out our house. I've skipped the baptism pictures and reception with family and friends for another blog entry. There are too many pictures otherwise. Ellen, is a dear friend whom we really enjoyed living by. Gwen is wearing a gift from Ellen and Brian. It said "Instructions not included".

Grandma Fisher loved to play patty cake with Gwen. Gwen loved it just as much. This picture captures the moment.

Three generations are captured here. Looks like Gwen has some catching up to do with getting some sun.
