Summer 2019

One of the benefits of being stuck at home is catching up on all the things I said I wanted to do "if I have time".  We have accomplished a lot over the last few weekends, and I finally have time to organize pictures and put some up here.  I can't believe I am almost a year behind!  Here are some photos from last summer!

Lots and lots of time at the pool!  So sad about the possibility of limited or no pool time this summer.

Last FNE meeting for the year!

Mary has really gotten into sewing this last year.

Lazy days on the deck.

A stop at the cookie store after her date with daddy!

Slip n' slide fun!

Our summer trip took us to Steamboat Springs the 3rd week in June.  Unfortunately in SNOWED while we were there!  It's way up in the mountains so we knew this was a possibility, and after wathcing the forcast, were prepared.  It was nice when we arrived, and we had a nice lunch at our condo.

By that afternoon it was getting cold and rainy, but we made it through the Yampa River Botanic Gardens before it started raining really hard.

We had tickets for the rodeo that night, so we bundled up and were able to enjoy most of it before it started snowing and getting too cold for the little ones.  We had to leave early, but still had a great time.  The kids loved running around in the mud during the calf scramble!

This is what it looked like the next morning.  Luckily, it warmed up and melted pretty quickly.  We went out to breakfast and spent the day in the condo and swimming indoors.

By the evening it was warmer and rainy.  We went to Mass, and then saw a beautiful double rainbow before dinner!

Our last day there was warm and sunny, and we spent some time hiking to Fish Creek Falls before heading home.  It was so nice to get away with the family!

Alex turned 10!!  I can't believe it.
