SUMMER FUN!!!!!!

We were introduced to a very quiet and secluded shady spot on the north side of the reservoir. The water is the perfect depth for wading and the boys love to gather sticks and play in the mud. And the view can't be beat! Henry's little buddy is Bodhi. We know them from church. His mom and i have become great friends and Charlie loves playing with her two older kids (Noah and Taline)- Charlie calls Taline his sister and wants to know when he gets his very own sister!

The new pool at out YMCA just opened and we are thoroughly enjoying ourselves! The parks are full of friends and, as usual, there is never a dull moment! I ran upstairs to put away laundry and came down when I realized it was far too quiet to find the boys had decorated themselves. I was actually pleased that it wasn't on any furniture or the walls! Needless to say, markers are now an outside activity!

HIKING!!!

The summer hiking season has officially begun and we are happy to be taking advantage of it! Chataqua has some really beautiful and less strenuous hikes perfect for us. Charlie has become quite a trail blazer and hiked with me on my birthday for 2 hours!!!!!

A few more from the Denver Botanic Garden.



HTe boys love to eat cereal- i usually convince them to have something else because it's so messy. This particular morning Charlie decided that while I was watering the plants he would just help himself to a fresh bowl. This is why we will be eating cereal on the patio from now on!
