"the frenchies" - Meeker

birthday boy John Jefferson!

So... after a fun weekend in Denver we made it over the mountains and back home.

And even though the Duval boys speak no English, and the Hightower boys speak no French, there is a universal language that they both are very fluent in: play!

One of the best mornings spent in Meeker was at the ball field and park, where "the frenchies" got their first real lesson in baseball - and a chance to play! 

I think they're sold on the American pass time!

After a Rockies game in Denver, some play time at the park, and lots of backyard baseball... we even had the chance to catch an adult softball game one night!

With Jason, a.k.a. "Ton Ton Jason" on the team, we naturally had to make sure he knew his fans were cheering him on... love the banner!!!

Another fun outing was a visit to my dear friend's ranch - where we played with a new kitten, some baby chicks, little man Miles, and best of all - pony rides!!!!!

Paul-Alexandre was particularly grateful for the pony ride!

We even squeezed in a visit to the local firehouse - the boys were excited to get a fire fighter helmet to wear and see all the big trucks!

But the best part about being at home is just having time to hang out together and with friends!

We were fortunate to have timed the visit over a weekend with live music downtown - so the boys could run amok and play football and the adults could sit and eat, drink & be merry!

Still more to come... so many fun adventures!!!!
