Camping pt. 3

More camping fun with two other families at the end of July near Buffalo Creek. The kids had a blast together and the grownups got some quality mountain biking in!!

The gaggle of kids!

The Moms got out for an awesome ride (then the Dads did!)

Camping part 2

We went on a great trip with two other families just outside of Rocky Mtn National Park. All six of the boys had a blast!

First day of Summer camp!

Touch a Truck

In early June, Levi and CJ got to practice their firefighting skills!

First camping trip of 2010!

We spent Memorial Day weekend in Rocky Mountain National Park with good friends Steve and Missy and Grant and Bennett. The weather was beautiful and the boys had a blast playing with each other and in the dirt for 2 days!

Summer's here!

We spent an afternoon at Sunflower Farm checkin' out the animals, playing in a treehouse and cornhouse, swinging in swings and enjoying the sunshine! The boys also got to feed a baby cow!

Ready for some serious cycling

Levi is still on his Strider bike, but has shown some interest in trying a pedal bike this summer. CJ kind of pushes himself around on the tricyle. We're hoping to get Levi on a pedal bike soon so he can hand down his Strider to CJ!

Jen's Getaway!

Jen took a 3-day getaway by herself to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida the first weekend of May. She slept, relaxed on the beach and read an entire book! It was a great few days to recharge after a tough winter!

Springtime Snow!

Swimming!

Both Levi and CJ have continued taking swimming lessons at the local rec center. Once we tried goggles with Levi, he finally started to LOVE swimming! It made a huge difference because he could put his head in the water without the frustration of water in his eyes.
CJ still has some issues with getting his head wet and has had a little more trouble warming up to the pool, but we'll keep at it!
