Putt Putt While We Wait

Who says running errands with Mommy has to be boring?  We practiced our putting skills while waiting for the van to get an oil change and a car wash.

And since we were right by the Wooden Shoe, we drove by to see several of Lillian's friends from Preschool.  They are there for Summer Camp and happened to be outside playing.  I'd say it was a happy reunion!

Ella, Marek, Hannah and Mia - all trying to hug Lillian through the fence!

Daddy's Girl

Meeting Daddy for lunch is turning out to be a nice little tradition...

Concert in Olde Town

Daddy needed a minute to relax and switch gears after work today.  It turns out, there's no time alone in our house these days!

 So after a quick snuggle in his chair, we piled in the van and Daddy rode his bike to Olde Town for their summer concert series.  Pretty impressive Mike, after a 10 hour work day!

The Michalko's Are Coming!

Better break out the tent (and check it for mouse holes!) the Michalko's are coming to town!  We can't sleep everyone in the camper, but Inzo is thrilled to sleep outside with his dad like a true Boy Scout.

A Little Educational Fun this Summer!

Jak seems to have a "musical bone" in his body.  Not sure where that came from, but Mike and I thought it would be fun to see if the kids take to playing the guitar.  Who doesn't love guitar music around the campfire at night!? So we asked around  the neighborhood and our neighbor Logan, 16, agreed to come give the kids a little lesson once a week.  Lillian's not a fan of this idea...

Water Fun at the Library

The Standley Lake Library has a summer series called Wacky Wednesday.  Every week they offer a new activity for the kids, this week - Water Fun! I love the pictures with the water balloon suspended in mid-air!

Poolside Play Dates

 Relaxing morning, counting the minutes until we could meet Brenna at the pool!

 It was worth the wait!

8 Years

Today is our 8 year anniversary!

 Sweet Lillian worked very hard on this card, other than the fact she asked me how to spell anniversary, it was a complete surprise!

Mom and dad had the kids over for dinner and Mike and I walked up to Table Mountain Inn for dinner in Golden.  It is so nice to have them live locally!

BBQ at the Crowley's

Aaron and Julie are visiting from Kentucky so the Crowley's organized a little BBQ for the "old gang".  It was nice to see everyone and let the kids play.  Matt and Aaron installed a slack line in the back yard, and once the kids got the hang of it, it was a hit!  

Golden Historic Days

We traveled about a century back in time today at the Golden Frontier Days Festival. The kids got a glimpse at what life would be like if we all shared a bedroom, grew our own food, raised our own livestock, made our own metal work and went to school in a one room school house.

Out with the Girls

Shaving Cream Fun!

Good times...
