A busy morning in Denver

This morning my aunt and I loaded up the Element to begin to long drive back to Dallas. Meanwhile my niece and nephew-in-law got the kids ready for their first games of the season. Here's my great-niece, 5, in her soccer uniform:



And here's my great-nephew, 9, in his football uniform:



Though her team lost the game, my great-niece made a goal. My great-nephew's team won their game.

My aunt and I spent the day on the road, south from Lone Tree to Raton, NM, then sort of southwest to Amarillo, via Clayton, NM, and Dumas, TX. Ah, the bliss of the southwestern edges of the Great Plains.
