for Mimi

here is a VERY small recap of our summer.

I had my nieces for a week in June for VBS. We always have so much fun and try to keep very busy.


Lauren went to her first overnight camp. She stayed three nights and had a blast. These are her two councilors. One was local but the other was from Egypt.

We made it to touch-a-truck again this year. the kids always have fun but it is SO loud!


the rest of the photos are from our recent trip to Colorado. They aren't in the order we did things but that is okay.

we took a wonderful, scenic train ride. Colin loved it all!!

we also did alpine slides. I rode with Colin and he squealed with joy the entire trip.

we also went to a very cool water park. Lauren went down the slide more times then I could count. She mainly went by herself and would lug her inner tube up to the top each time.


We went to the top of some mountain that had said scenic lookout. I don't usually stop for things like that but was feeling touristy (I'm sure that is a word) I'm glad we stopped because it was beautiful once we made it to the top.


we did lots of swimming in our hotel pool.


we went to the Butterfly Pavilion and Lauren held Rosie, the tarantula.
