Loving Summertime!

Summer time is probably my favorite time of year!  I love the long days and evenings just perfect for playing outside and going to bed way too late.  

These pictures are all completely out of order, and I'm too lazy to move them all around, so here ya go!

We visited our favorite Greeley park, Glenmere, which we hadn't been to in over two years!  In this picture, a slug had snuck onto Cameron's shoulders.  I don't think I'd ever seen a slug in Colorado before that.  The boys were captivated.



Our grass is FINALLY big enough for the boys to be able to run around on, and, on this day, put the swim suits on and run through the sprinklers!  It is SOOOOOO nice to be able to go outside barefoot without risking goat heads bloodying your feet. 



I have to capture them when they are all sitting happily together


But seriously, how do you fall asleep like this?

Doesn't Zane seem so thrilled?  



How many naked kids can we stuff into the water table?

We got to chicken-sit our neighbors' chickens when they were out of town a few times this summer.  The boys loved gathering eggs and feeding and watering them (and shhhhh don't tell the neighbors but catching them too!)





A Little 4th of July Fun!

 Fourth of July was spent in Grand Junction this year.  The big boys were so excited because they went one week early and had Grandma Camp for the first time.  My parents completely spoiled them!


First, a second breakfast at McDs on the trip back

They took a bubble bath in the jacuzzi tub.  I don't think my mom realized what would happen when they turned on the jets!


They had such a fun time at Glenwood Caverns.  Here they are on the tram up the mountain:

The boys rode over and over again on the Alpine slide

My dad tried to scare the snot out of Tiernan by taking him on a swing that went out over the cliff.  

We're all about safety when riding the tricycle

The cousins went on another hike up Mica mine


The weather was perfect for lots of bike riding

We were able to go on mini hikes on the Colorado National Monument.  I was trying not to have a heart attack any time the boys went anywhere close to the edge.

Auntie Tiff took Cameron and Libby to the 4th of July parade

4th of July is all about the fireworks!  




What a studly dude!
