Sean is One & New Digs

July 20 thru 22, 2003

"I'm a BIG boy" and "Kev & Lisa's New Digs "

We combined the chance to celebrate Sean first birthday bash in Los Alamos, NM with the chance to check out Kev, Lisa, Cat and Kyle's new digs in Amarillo, TX. We showed up a little early to give Gene and Lisa a chance to get out on their bikes for some training rides. Gave us time for some serious baby spoiling and we took full advantage.
A quick look at THE cake advertising that our Sean turned the big ONE. He is not sure what all the hubbub is all about, but loving the attention.
"I can do this sis, stand back". Our Sean zeros in on getting his pile of loot open so he can PLAY. Actually he wasn't sure what the excitement was all about, but hung right in there opening the boxes.
Uncle Kev and cousins Cat and Kyle entertain the birthday boy while Allie looks on.
Finally had to take a close look at Lisa & Gene's rolling motel room. Complete with ice box, kinda running water and gas cooking stove. Neat!
The Kev and Lisa digs complete with the national and lone star state's pendants proudly flying. You bet I'm from Texas, and Kev can say I am native born!
An inside shot of the happy Texans on the staircase with the "gallery" in the background. Neat house and a happy bunch.
So much happened that never got captured in pictures. The awesome musical in the canyon amphitheater depicting the settling of the high plains. The show was complete with civil war battles, Indian wars and covered wagons. The wrap up was a huge fireworks display. We dined the next night at the BIG Texan where the "shtick" is a "free" 72 oz. steak dinner if you can eat it in one hour. A young fellow collected while we were there, but didn't look like he felt all that happy with winning. A fun trip and time.
