Mother's Day Party
Golden, Colorado: May 17, 2015

Mike and I had planned to be in New Mexico on Mother's Day, and Rob and Terry were volunteering for our nieces' school, so Mike's parents
hosted a party the Sunday after Mother's Day to celebrate when everyone could be available and relaxed.

Here's Maddie and Val playing a game on the wall:

 
Mike and Rob (Maddie and Val's dad) chillin'

 
Terry was working away! That turkey was as tasty as it looks!

 
Mike and his grandma (Rob is there but not in the picture, as he likes it):

 
Flowers Mike sent for Mother's Day while we were in New Mexico, "so she would be reminded of her delicate hothouse flower":

 
It's a party! Barbara Saban, Dale Nicholls (Mike's mom's brother), Rannae Lyon (Mike's sister), Will and Hannah Korosec (Dale and Barb's gradnchildren),
Maddie and Valerie Lyon (Rob and Rannae's daughters), and Mike:

Dale set up a hunt for marbles in the back yard:



 
Maddie and Hannah playing with the marbles they found:



 
Whatever it is, Mike doesn't like it. (Mike talking with his mom, Gwenn):

 
Valerie is using the meditative approach to helping her parents find the remaining marbles:

Time for some presents - Mother's Day, souvenirs from our New Mexico trip, and birthday presents for Valerie since we would be in Canada during her birthday.
