Summer Camp

The girls just spent the week at Avid4 Aventure Camp and Anderson spend his time at Aunt Jen’s outdoor camp.  The girls went hiking, biking, canoeing, rock climbing, and kayaking.  Anderson went on wildflower hikes, swimming, to the beach, and a special day of ‘mouse hunting’ in the garage ;-).  I think they all had a great week.  It’s going to be sad to leave tomorrow, but we’re on to our Rochester adventure.

4th of July in the good ‘ole US of A

Friends, family, parade, s’mores, and watching fireworks from the backyard.  Doesn’t get much better than this.

Crazy outfits.

That’s eight naked kids in a bathtub.  Future blackmail material.

Happy 4th of July!

Snowball fight in July? Why not.

After a completely uneventful travel back to Colorado we were headed up to Leadville in less than 24 hours.  We thought the time there would help us recover from the jet lag and…well…help us adjust in general.  I think for the kids the real jet lag impact hit on day two, but long naps and lots of outside time helped get them adjusted.  We’re still waking up before 6 am, but not by much.

Jetlag:

High Country here we come!

Our one mile ‘walk’ turned into a 3+ hour adventure.  Good thing we have such amazing adventurers.

Oh, how we’ve missed you, Colorado.  It’s good to be back.
