One night after girls camp, the big girls were dying to impress us with their shooting skills that they had acquired at camp. They proceeded to SHOW us how to shoot.
We then headed over to our fire pit and made some s’mores. Gabby was over for the night so Ashley was in heaven.
Oh how we enjoy the Colorado summer evenings!
Jerrica read and loved Charlotte’s Web over the summer. In fact I don’t think she has killed a spider since she finished the book!
I promised her that I would take her to the Zuckerman’s Farm Park when she finished the book. So late one summer afternoon when all of the older kids were gone we headed to the park…
Took a tour of the Air Force Academy.
Their was a wedding happening in the chapel. A limo was parked outside waiting for the couple. As we were walking back up the hill, I noticed that Ashley and Sydney were missing. I look down the hill and see them talking to the limo driver through his window. Next thing I know the driver gets out and opens the back of the limo for the girls to look in.
They were smiling and giggling by the time I got over to them. Ashley told me that she had always wanted to see in a limo and decided it wouldn’t hurt to ask. Her wish was granted and all of the kids up ahead were mad that they hadn’t been there.
We found a fun photo spot on the trail, and everyone had to get their picture taken at it.
I have said before that we are crazy and try to scare our kids. Aunt Betty is another classic one that scares EVERYONE!
The kids were always in the cookie and candy jars, especially Ben.
Snakes are in abundance in the valley. We caught a really long, big one. We could tell that it had just eaten something by the size of it and watching whatever was inside moving. If my boys had been down there, they probably would’ve dissected it for us.
These three stayed in the fifth wheel the entire time. It was their “home”. I think they do this to get out of jobs and babysitting the little ones.
Mom’s yard is always beautiful. I loved her Columbines…
Little yard workers for grandma. I think they liked working outside so they could drive the riding lawn mower around. Dad constantly had a job for them to do.
Kristy tried her hand at chalk hairdo’s with all of the girls, AND grandma too!
Favorite dinner hands down was out at the fire pit. My dad has the hamburger mastered!
This is the JD that all of the girls would fight over. For some reason, it’s fun to drive around and around at 2mph.
Each group of cousins have matching shirts. Jerrica and Kinsley had to do a picture of
The sugar shack up town is a quick afternoon pick me up for ALL of the cousins…
Sunsets are beautiful as well as all of the stars in the sky at night.
We celebrated Sydney’s birthday. These three were lucky to be the same age and get to go on a date with Aunt Kristy to Chili’s and Maurices. Kristy kind of spoiled all three!
Dad’s rotating teeter totter has lines waiting to play on it.
We also took a visit to the pop can castle in Antonito, as well as their splash pad.
