The Hinyard-Lash Experience: Starring Leslie, Jeff, Esme, Brynn, Han, and other members of the Hinyard-Lash family

Colorado: Part 1

Saturday, July 11, 2009

We flew out to Colorado this past Friday to surprise Grandpa Kenny for his birthday. Mimi (Grandma Jeannie) had done a great job planning his party (the first she’s ever thrown for him, apparently, hence the special occasion) and keeping our visit a surprise — a big accomplishment for her!

Of course, the real present for Kenny was having his granddaughter visit. (The fact that his daughter and son-in-law were also attending was nice, though we’ve learned that we are a distant second.) Esme had a great time at the party on Friday evening, showing off her party dress and in general winning the affection of everyone in attendance.

We’ve got plenty of pictures and video which we’ll post over the next few days, though here’s a good video of Esme at the party that we wanted to share. She enjoyed playing in the yard, learning to walk on uneven ground, and exploring the terrain with Mimi.
