CO adventurers...







This weekend we made some exciting purchases.....it started with the backpack for hiking (yes it is to carry Landon). We have done a little hiking in Rocky Mountain National forest and decided we are going to make it a frequent event. We loved it, the boys loved it, so why not! Landon has a hard time making it back down the trail and back to the car, so instead of carrying him on my hip, I'm going to wear him on my back and take the stress of my shoulders! Next, the bike rack and bike trailer for Chase. I bought a bike for my birthday with a bike seat for Landon so the boys and I could go on rides, Dwight decided he wanted a bike too......so we went and bought him a bike and the attatchment for Chase...now we can go on long rides b/c Chase doesn't have to peddle if he gets tired...pretty cool!!
The last couple pictures are just the boys watering our flowers that we planted. They love to do this every night....such good gardners, hopefully they have more of a green thumb than their mom ;)

Visitors

For the last 10 days we've had the pleasure of hosting my parents....it started w/a 4th of July celebration, then a few days later a trip to Estes Park, a trip to the zoo (sorry no pics), farmer's market in Boulder, a little shopping, lunch and an afternoon on Pearl Street, and lots of baked goods...thanks Donna!!!! :) Here are a few pictures from the 4th and Estes Park

Smoke bombs are always a hit!
