Getting together after the graveside service, and the flight back home

Going down the blue river tunnel before we head to the car after our trip.
All the family decided to go have the lunch gathering back at Birch Elementary for memory's sakes, and the other parks nearby were reserved.
Cousin swing time.

Making everyone smile for pictures.

Hearing stories from older cousins.
Some of the kids and Steve played several games of hot potato. It was funny to watch.



Adeline and Sam in the final round!
Final round all girls with Evelyn, Vivian and Adeline!
Moving to outside the pavilion so the football (potato, AKA Steve's sweatshirt) didn't hit anyone.
O'Berry boys chatting it up. Though they had never met until today, they got along great.

Hanging out doing soccer.
Denver Airport big white cover.

We met Sintays and Barnhisels (per suggestion from Steve) at Terminal A for Ben and Jerry's.That was some expensive ice cream!



Wish we could have hung out with everyone longer! Less then 24 hours by far, basically less than 12 hours with everyone. Quick trip!

Grandpa O'Berry's graveside service-morning

The above picture is Evelyn looking all fancy wearing her dress with green in it for Grandpa O'Berry's funeral. Hanging out beforehand in the Sintay hotel room.

Vivian trying to teach Evelyn how to play and do a Rubix cube.
This picture just made me laugh all seated on the bed watching a soccer game, minus Collin on his phone :)
Getting the casket out with all the pall bearers.
This was a really touching moment.
The 5 siblings in front.

Different grandkids gave memories of Grandpa. I loved this part.




Ryan was the last speaker and dedicated the grave.
handsome boys.
The five siblings.
I think all the attending cousins. There were 3 missing I think, but these are the rest of the grandkids.
Our family

This is Shane and Ryan's son Declan. He is almost a couple years older than Liam, but I have always thought they look SO much alike. Like twins, if Liam had shorter hair.

Fun cousin pic.
Looking as the casket is lowered.


Graveside service over. It was so nice and special. Grandpa O'Berry was very loved!
