Spectacular Saturday (formerly known as Fantabulous Friday): A Little Roadtrip

 Can you guess where we are?

Out on the porch.

Yep, that's right.  On Thursday, Mom, Harriet and I packed into the red minivan and trekked across the more hideous parts of western Nebraska and eastern Colorado to go visit the grandparents in beautiful Estes Park.  Grandad was having surgery, so we came out to keep him (and Grammy) properly distracted and entertained.

Harriet being her entertaining self.

We like to think that we have been pretty successful since Grandad's surgery went off without a hitch (but with a stitch or two) and Harriet has slept every time we go up and down the Big Thompson Canyon...which has been three times, now.

Four generations.

Highlights of the trip have included:

•  stopping in the creepiest. town. ever in eastern Colorado.  Seriously, girls, lock your doors. 
• spending all day at the hospital.
• eating some scrummy Italian food.
• hyperventilating in Hobby Lobby.
• drinking lots of decaf coffee.



Harriet and Great! Aunt Paula.



 And seeing our wonderful Aunt Paula.  She is the total bomb and we love her muchly.

Harriet doesn't like to be squished.  I don't know many people who do.

Tomorrow we will go home.  I, for one, will be very glad to see Steve even if it is a work night (we weep!) because going for more than four days without kissing your husband should be against the law.
