Fireworks and Stuff
Wow! I can't believe I haven't blogged in three months. We have been so busy. I thought about catching up with a bunch of photos but I would honestly never get around to that. So, I'll just say that in the last three months we have had a couple of birthday, Easter, small vacations, fun activities...yada...yada...yada.... consider yourself caught up  I hope everyone had a wonderful Fourth of July. We started our day by going to the parade in our little town. They really do a lot for the 4th; whole day of festivities. The kids love the parade because they always catch lots of candy.  Austin waiting patiently for the parade to begin....  Lys has her cell phone permanantly attached to her fingers....  The wait for the parade to start was a bit much for Adam....  Finally....the parade was on and the candy-catching began! After that we headed "to town" (as we call the Denver area) and checked into our rooms at a hotel overlooking the park where fireworks were being done. We met up with my parents at Olive Garden for dinner then went back to the hotel to walk around the "Promenade" area. The kids have some favorite horse statues they couldn't wait to visit (we hadn't seen them in a couple of years).  Lys....with the cell phone again! the hotel behind her is the one we stayed at.  The kids were very fond of the revolving doors (hey, it's the simple things that seem to thrill them the most!).    This horse statue is so funny....it has a motion sensor and will talk if someone is around. In fact, it even sings and yodels (though not particularly well). Lexi had quite a time trying to figure out how to get on the horse.  Our rooms were on the 6th floor so we had a perfect view of the fireworks. After the display in the park next door ended, we were able to see the displays in two neighboring cities. The kids have had lots of activities to stay busy with this summer, like bowling, gymnastics, tennis, library activities, etc. When we have some time at home the younger three love to spend as much time as possible in the little pool.  Or trying to injure themselves while roller blading (this photo was taken about 2 minutes before Adam fell and put his front tooth through his lip):  We bought a fire pit and like to roast marshmallows for smores:  Hope everyone is having a great summer! |
