Three generations today had a delightful time shopping—at Tony Bernal’s Art Studio, Appaloosa Gallery (I knew it as Walt’s Corner) and then on to Trinidad to shop and then see the movie, How to Train a Dragon. I’m exhausted, so this will be short!

My brother, his son and his two granddaughters and I had a marvelous time today enjoying southeastern Colorado. We started with a stop at Tony Bernal’s Art Studio. What an amazing collection of local and international artwork and jewelry.

From there we went on to Trinidad and had Mexican food at Tequilas’s Family Restaurant. The place was hopping! We all enjoyed our different dishes and we ended with mouth-watering sopapillas.

Then we headed downtown where the three of us ladies shopped until I dropped. Several of the stores were closed because of being Sunday, but we had fun. Our most outrageous fun was an old style photo booth. We crammed the three of us in and took our first pictures which cut two of our heads off. We tried a second time and concentrated on where the camera was! Such a memory maker!

Originally we planned to go the movie at the 3:45 PM showing, but our extended shopping downtown messed that up, so we had to move it up to the 6:30 PM time slot. To cool down, we stopped for ice cream at a local shop. Then we went to Big R to see the wares there. I ended up sitting down for most of our time there.

From there we decided to go to the Dollar Tree and enjoyed walking almost the whole store.

Three Generations See a Movie

We arrived at the theater about an hour ahead of time, so I snuck in a short nap before the movie. With a bucket of popcorn and Fanta Orange drink, I enjoyed the magic of seeing Toothless and Hiccup and their adventures. We sat in a row—three generations enjoying this fun-filled, adventurous movie!

Because of the later showing, we had to drive home in the dark. My nephew spotted a herd of six elk in the road before anyone else—thank God he saw them because that could have been a serious accident.

Finally,

I’m exhausted but so satisfied with a great time connecting three generations for a lovely day together. The guys waited around for us downtown as we shopped, parked on a bench, but I saw them having fun laughing at crazy videos on my nephew’s phone. All in all, a memorable day! These days are special—make sure you take the time to get a 71 year old aunt and two young great nieces together for fun—and a dad and his son!
