Colorado- June 2012: Rocky Mountain National Park

Aaron and the girls had a free day at camp and they wanted to explore Rocky Mountain National Park.  They invited us to come explore with them- and we had lots of fun.  Hannah was so happy to see her Daddy!!!

Colorado- June 2012: the park

All the girls and Aaron at the park!

Aaron and Hannah take in the view of Pike's Peak from the trails in the park

Hannah decided to "help" Nana push the stroller

Hannah asked Nana to push her on the swing a LONG time!

On the way home from the playground, Hannah got to hold Toby Dog's leash.  She giggled the whole time!

We had lots of fun walking in the park behind Nana's house with all the girls.  We even went to the playground at the park then next day.

Snow day, part 3

Here is the last installment of the snow day pictures.  We pulled her in the sled, made snow angels, hiked to the backyard and to the bench.  Once again, Hannah was begging to stay outside in the snow.  She was freezing, hungry and crying her head off because she wanted to ride in the sled just a little more.

Zoo Lights at the Denver Zoo

Burke invited us to see one of his favorite holiday sites: Zoo Lights at the Denver Zoo.  Pretty cold but pretty spectaular.  There are not a whole lot of pictures to show because it was so dark.  But there is a great story to share: while we admired the ice sculptures, two ladies started to do acrobatics hanging from fabric from the ceiling.  Pretty neat.  But not to Burke.  His reaction: "This doesn't make sense.  These ladies are stressing me out."  Love that boy!

Hannah loves Piper Jane

Hannah really enjoyed spending time with Piper Jane last week.  Don't you love their outfits?

July 4th Parade

We went to a really fun parade this morning- and the kiddos had on matching outfits.  Thanks Aunt Kirst!  Happy Independence Day to everyone!

Family time in Colorado Springs

Here are a few pictures of our time at Evette's home in Colorado Springs.  The weather is great!  We have been relaxing, eating ice cream & frozen yogurt, visiting with Adam, Kirstin, Burke, Piper Jane and Evette.  We even ran into a friend from Colleyville at church this morning!  Stay tuned for 4th of July parade pictures . . . matching outfits are involved :)

Off to Lake City

somewhere around Lake City-- this is obviously borrowed from Evette!

Hello from Colorado! Aaron and I arrived in Colorado Springs yesterday and we are off to Lake City in the morning. The highs are going to be in the high 60's to low 70's with lows in the 40's. I am a little apprehensive. . . I have never been there before, I don't know how to fly fish and I am not overly fond of eating trout. However, there will be great company (and our favorite nephew Burke) and I am bringing lots of books.
