More Photos
| Thought I would try to get some more photos updated from our summer activities. One of the things our exchange student wanted to do more than anything is see a major league baseball game, so we took her to see the Colorado Rockies. Wouldn't you know we were there the night they lost badly, while they won both the night before and the night after! But we still had fun. The view from our seats:  Drew, Lexi, Marina and Lys waiting patiently for the game to start:  Rob, Austin and Adam:  Marina and Lexi near the field watching practice:  A group photo:  We also went to Elitch Gardens Amusment Park last week. We went on several water rides which left us totally soaked:      Austin and Marina are in the car on the right and Lexi and Adam are in the car on the left:  We saw the Sea Lion show:  And ended our day huddled under a tree eating ice cream since it started to rain:  On Marina's last day here we went on a tour of Hammond's Candy Factory then had some friends over for some tennis, soccer and playground time at the park down the street:    Lexi and Marina in front of the house:  At the exchange student drop-off they do demonstrations of a Japanese stringed instrument, Japanese drums and a form of Japanese martial arts called Ken-do:   Adam trying Ken-do:  Andrew trying Ken-do:  Austin trying Ken-do:  Then it was time to say good-bye to Marina....which was really hard to do. There were lots of tears.     Yesterday, Austin's gymnastic team members joined into a fundraiser called Cartwheels Across Colorado. The funds raised go to provide morale boosting DVDs to troops deployed to Iraq. The kids did as many cartwheels as they could. Even though it was 90 degrees out, Austin did over 200 cartwheels. He was pretty proud of his contribution.   Andrew joined in for a few cartwheels too:  Adam was happy climbing on the rocks at the park:  |
