Insectival

We went to the "Insectival" at the Butterfly Pavilion. Rosie the tarantula was out of her cage for any willing participant who wanted to hold her. None of us were willing, except Hallie, who exclaimed "I am brave to hold her". Once we saw how long the line was, she changed her mind. Adam participated in cockroach racing and his cockroach won! He was pretty excited about that. There were fun little games with prizes for the kids to play. The kids loved the air tube where they could put feathers in it, and watch them fly out and all around. We stopped and had yummy Chick-Fil-A for lunch.

Someone's Starting School!

We can't believe that Adam is starting school. He is beyond excited, and just a little nervous. Matt was there to get pictures of him, and watch him line up with his class and get ready to go in for his first day. He absolutely loved it, has made a lot of friends, and loves his teacher.

Hot Fun in the Summertime

My niece got married, and my brothers, their wives and all the kids came to town. I had the week off work, and was able to spend a lot of time doing fun things with everyone. We went up to the mountains, Waterworld, Estes Park, The Fountains, sleepovers,and many other fun filled activities. Love when they are all here, and sad when they have to leave.

Mr. and Mrs. Shake

My niece, who I can't believe is old enough to have a baby, got married this weekend, and the entire family was here to celebrate. We all piled in the car and drove up to Estes Park for the wedding, it was gorgeous, and the entire family and a lot of our friends were there. Rose and Jerry were there too (they are part of the family having known my parents for 29 years now). It was a blast, and turned out beautifully. The kids had a great time, and I am so glad everyone was able to come.

Summer Collages

Just a couple of cute collages I put together of the kids from various activities through the summer.
