Camping in Colorado







We were in Colorado visiting Derek and Cindy in June. While we were there, we went camping in Rocky Mountain National Park. We really had a blast. We played bacci ball in the camp site, and had our first experience with banana boats. They were this yummy concoction of a banana split open with the peel on, and stuffed with chocolate candy of choice wrapped in foil and cooked over the camp fire. We drove to the top of the mountain and stopped along the way to enjoy the scenery...and wildlife. It was a very special memory made.






Slippin-anda-Slidin

Kyla got a slip-n-slide for her Birthday. We decided to get it out the other day. The kids had soooo much fun on it.
It was one of the days it was warm enough to play in the water... it hasn't even gotten up to 80 on very many days....

Happy Birthday Kyla

What a fun time Kyla had at her party. We had lots of friends over. We made a homemade brownie icecream cake. Which by the way was delicious.. And we all took turns trying out Kyla's new hula hoop. My baby is 4 years old... I can't believe it!!!
Okay... Sorry ladies, but I had to put these up too.... It was so much fun, I wanted to share.

4th of July


We love the july 4th celebration in Cody... The parade is always so fun... People line the street, and you'd never know that this is a town of only 8000.
Then there is the day in the park, where people have booths set up selling their goods, and food, and entertainment.
After that, we went to our friends house, and rode horses with them. the kids, especially Kyla love it. And... we got Fawn on one too. She had so much fun!! it was a special day for her.








Children's Choir

So,... Jonas and Kyla have started singing in the choir at church. They have really enjoyed singing the songs and practicing.
But, it came time to get up in front of the church to perform a song... and, Well...
you can see how excited Kyla is. She wanted to be up there. It just wasn't quite what she expected. But, she stuck it out, and hasn't done it since.

Summer Days.... Camping

We haven't done a whole lot of camping yet this summer, but we do love it.
