Recipients:
Jack & Grant (plus their parents and friend of parents), Platt Park
Mike and I were walking down Pearl Street behind this group:
A half-block up, two men, one pushing one of those car seat-type-strollers.
Fifteen feet behind them, a woman and a toddler.
I was already amused by the toddler, who was determined to exercise his still-developing gross motor skills not on the smooth sidewalk, but on the bumpy and precarious roadway verge filled with fist-sized rocks, where he was making a stumbling beeline toward a young tree only slightly taller than he. When I turned to back to look at him as we passed, the serious expression of intense concentration on his tiny face as he reached for a thin, papery leaf was hilarious and made me laugh out loud.
"They're with you?" I asked the two men who had paused to let the rest of their party catch up.
Jack (the toddler), Grant (the baby) and their folks were in town to visit their friends (new to Denver) and see for themselves if they'd like to relocate here. They asked us if we lived in the neighborhood, and we all had a lively conversation about Platt Park, places to eat, drink, get groceries, and so on. We gave them our recommendations, and this award.
