Camping

Our big camping trip with friends. We went up by Twin Lakes (near Leadville) this year and the weather was fantastic. We didn't pack bathing suits, but all swam in the lake~ the water is frigid, but it was nearly 80 degrees up there. It was even warm overnight- a welcome surprise. My brother came from Wisconsin and some visitors from Minneapolis and Tacoma, WA as well. It was a great group and we had a blast. Jeff and I got there first and hosted the first nights dinner- Chicago Style Hot Dogs- a big hit with everyone!

Once again I wonder...... can a 2 year-old ever really understand how amazing her life is? Will she grow up just expecting to play outside and see majestic mountains in the background? she is a lucky one.......

Facepainting

Family fun night at the rodeo. They had free balloons, bounce castle and facepainting- we opted for arm painting so she could see it better. She picked out the froggie- too cute!
