Summer was coming in and our timing worked out so that we could get Ben to Overland, meet Connor, and go to Leah's wedding all in one trip with an excursion of our own added to the journey. So, Suzanne
and Ben
checked the departure board
and led me to the right gate where we waited to board.
Once on board, I was moved to first class (since neither of the others wanted the upgrade) and had juice and water
fruit and cereal
and a cinnamon bun for breakfast
with a chocolate chip cookie right before we landed.
I was also able to get off the plane and greet Suzanne and Ben at their arrival.
After baggage claim chaos, we made our way to E-Z-Car rental where this man gave us our wheels for the week.
And so we were off to Parker where Greg
and Larry greeted us
ad we walked past the welcome bear
so that Suzanne could greet Connor
and the rest of us could see the dogs
who were so glad to see us that they shook all over
and while this didn't phase Suzanne or Connor,
being this close to a dog
did concern Ben.
Lunch was served
including Janet's orange cookies
and we bade farewell to dogs
and babies
and headed to the barber shop where Suzanne and Janet held court
while Ben and I posed for before
and after photos.
This activity required a visit to the liquor store
and then a stop to look at Greg's office
before we were back to Connor with his new toy
and Janet with Cam
as Connor played on the floor
Erin minded dog
Connor played with Suzanne
as dog watched
and the pattern -- Connor with Suzanne
dog on couch was repeated once more
before Dansyl arrived
and greeted Connor
so that Syl, Connor and Janet could pose
as did Dan
which put Ben into warp speed
from which Ben emerged to show his haircut once again
as Suzanne sat with backlight
and Larry shared Connor with Dan
while Erin displayed the shirts that Syl had brought
which didn't seem to affect either Larry or Connor as they stood together
though the toy that Erin showed
did seem to amuse Larry and Connor
which amused Erin and Janet
as Connor stayed with Larry
but slowly made his way towards Suzanne
and back
as Dansyl watched
before Syl took her turn with Connor
though Connor made his way back to Suzanne
with Dansyl
and Greg watching
as a dog came into the picture
while Larry and Greg
and Ben and Suzanne
and the dog
watched Ben and Suzanne
and Larry
as the dogs gathered with Greg for moments that could either be described as playful or growling (depending on one's disposition towards dogs).

Solidly in the growling camp were Ben and Suzanne
and Dansyl
though Greg solidly represented the other camp
which did not convince Ben and Suzanne
and even this cute dog
couldn't bring Dansyl
and Ben and Suzanne
to Greg's point of view.
And so, dog and Greg were amused
as the camera flipped between Ben and Suzanne
Dansyl
back to Ben and Suzanne
Larry
back again to Ben and Suzanne
over to Dansyl
yet another visit to Ben and Suzanne
and then to Syl and Connor
with Greg taking a photo
as I opened one of the beers we had bought
and Syl and Connor were amused
though the wasabi peas
amused both Syl and Connor
and the dog even more.
Syl and Connor were on the (safe) couch)
as Larry and Janet watched
and a small Connor and Syl walk emerged
as Erin and Greg
Larry and Janet
Dansyl
and Larry and Janet were clearly waiting for someone to arrive.
The first arrival was Dan
which gave me a chance to record the dog sign
and Larry and Janet a chance to show off Connor
before Toba arrived and did her bonding with Connor
and Rachel arrived with her high spirit
as (another) Suzanne conversed with Syl
and I recorded my pizza
and the other foods
before settling down with my pizza
as the dogs called it a day (a dog day to be sure).
