Four Generations

Last weekend, we were lucky enough to have my parents visit for a few days (fortunately, it worked for everyone to postpone their visit by a week). Mom and I accompanied D-man to the lower school dance (which was full of eating, dancing, and being chased by girls) for a bit while Dad hung out with T-man.We had a typical Saturday at the Peavy house - errands in the morning, D-man's basketball game in the afternoon, and a nice meal (seared tuna, salad, broccoli, and orzo). 

On Saturday afternoon, we also had a mattress for D-man delivered. Pop worked with D-man to take down his twin bed and move it over to T-man's room. They then set up D-man's new bed frame. The bed has been in the Karlen family for four generations now (D-man, me, Pop, and his parents). I thought it was very special that Pop was there to set up a bed that was once his for his grandson. Pop was able to share the story of breaking his leg on the bed as well. Was a special way to spend the afternoon (and get something productive done as well!).

On Sunday, we headed to New York Deli News, the Jewish Deli, near our house. We always enjoy making a trip there for brunch when Mom and Dad visit. From there, we headed to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science and enjoyed the Expedition Health and the space exhibits. An afternoon of naps (for the adults) and some quick errands, was followed by a casual Super Bowl party with snacks, chili, and even a numbers pool run by Nana and D-man (Pop earned 15 pieces of candy).

What a great visit. We can't wait to see Nana and Pop again.
