Look what we grew!

That's a fine looking watermelon! It tasted great but had a ton of seeds.  

Eager 1st Grader!

Ian's 40th

Scrumptious!

Ice Cream is always a good way to celebrate surviving the first week of school!

Evening Fun

I bought marked down rafting tubes at Costco for a steal and HAD to give them a try.  The river is finally at a low enough level to be safe, but a high enough level to still be really fun.  The water was cold, there were a few scary rapids but everyone had a blast and can't wait until the next time.  But my rear end could use a break....I slammed down pretty hard on top of a sharp rock!

First Day of 1st & 3rd Grade

So grown up...

Back To School Camping with the Crowley's

Lots of game playing, S'more eating, Pokemon discussing, hiking, eating and frisbee golfing.  Mike and Lillian designed a great course for us!

Final Water World Trip of the Season!

Finishing Summer Strong...Skate City & A Rockies Game

Skate City with Mia, Zoey & Jack

 And a Rockies Game with the Rodriguez's and Emma 

A little artistic fun in Olde Town Arvada after riding the light rail to and from the Rockies game.

Fun New Hobby?

Mike has been wanting to check out Stoney Ridge golf course since we moved in 6 1/2 years ago....and tonight we finally gave the driving range a try.  For $10 we shared a bucket of balls and it was so much fun...of course we did discover that all of us need some practice.  Hopefully, we come back often!

Joseph's 7th Birthday Party

We landed at 7:30 AM this morning from Michigan, and quickly threw together a fantastic pool party for a fantastic boy!  We had a great group of cousins, neighbors and school friends.
