Summer is off and running!
The kids and I are enjoying our summer. We have spent time trying to organize the house and time hanging out with friends. We have been camping once and then went to Colorado to visit family. Much to Damon and Madison's dismay, we went camping in a campground instead of off-roading to the middle of nowhere to camp. However, they had a blast when we got there. We roasted hotdogs and marshmallows and stayed up late talking and being silly. We left the day after returning from camping for Colorado. What would make a vacation more exciting than having the entire state on fire. The smoke made the sun a crazy red color. I tried to get a pic but you can't really see the red very well. We stayed with my aunt and uncle while we were there. We were able to visit with them and some of my cousins. The kids talked my cousin, Arnold, into helping them try to make glow in the dark bubbles. It didn't work but made some really strange looking glow in the dark cups. (see pics below) Damon went with grandpa to the car show in Pueblo and my mom and I took Madison to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. I don't think she can decide whether she liked feeding the giraffes or petting the wallabys better. We are home for a week and then we are off again. This time we are headed to California to see Chris, Alicia, and Lindsay. They kids are very excited. I'll keep you posted on our latest adventures! Love ya!
