Saturday turned out to be a great day of celebration with our oldest granddaughter Lauren,
She turned 30 and wanted to be with her family to celebrate. They (she and her husband Mark and dog Luna) Drove 10 hours from Las Vegas, to spend the day together with us. You have to grab those special times when you can.
Luna did great for her first time on such a long trip.
Lauren and hubby Mark against Amanda and her husband Billy.
Let the competition start...
It got too dark out in the yard, so I didn't get a photo of Lauren and Mark's contribution.
And the Winner !
The sunset last night was unbelievable.
It really didn't look real.
These photos are straight out of my cell phone. No touch-up or boost of color.
The red was so brilliant and almost neon.
Our son's backyard is the perfect place to see the sunset.
Work and Duty calls.
I do hope we can see them for Christmas.
There is nothing like family.
Always be Grateful
Always be Kind.

THERE IS NOTHING LIKE A FAMILY! HERE HERE! My gosh how much fun was that? Loved it. Love the photos of the sunset - especially with the two palms leaning towards each other.
Now that is some serious pumpkin carvings. Love that German shepherd! Luna is a good name. Looks like a nice time for all. God bless.
That had to be a fun day.. and then the sunset was the icing on the cake!
How wonderful that they came to celebrate her birthday with you. Wow, those are big pumpkins! Love the pumpkin and OMG on the evening sky photos.
How wonderful the kids were willing to drive 10 hours one way! Luna looks absolutely exquisite ... and in love with her 'momma.' I'm smiling at the kids' rapt attention to detail; so glad you were able to capture these moments!
PS - Love Mark's hat!
