We have been blasting through summer, I tell ya. Blasting! One thing seems to lead to another. Weekends are simply two days set aside to plan totally fun things to do that we just can't enjoy any other time of year. Up and coming : camping with a 4 year old and 18 month old! We just don't know when to quit, people.
Here are some shots from a hiking trip I took the kids on. Tessa's favorite part of the hike was climbing where Jack couldn't and laughing down at him. Jack's favorite part was the dirt. But he did really great! He hiked all the way by himself on his own two little feet.
I recently drove the kids to meet friends at the Littleton Museum. It has a working farm and an old house and schoolhouse built in the late 1800's. The kids just loved hanging out together. Here are some highlights:
Jack immediately stuck his finger in with the turkeys and it got bit! He spent the rest of the time at a safe distance.
Lookin' at the sheep.
The girls: Tessa, Audra and Hannah.
Then along came a cat, and we gave up on the group photo.
We also met the same friends (plus their plus ones) at an outdoor concert featuring a Beatles cover band. It was hot, and lots of eating ice cream ensued. Sticky rules!
We like to call him Linus around here. 100 degrees, and he wants his blanket!
Jump for joy!!
Today we traveled to Larkspur for the Colorado Renaissance Festival! And money can't buy the wonder and excitement Tessa experienced when she first glimpsed the castle. She also saw the procession of the king and queen on their way...uh...somewhere. She got to have her hair done, and we bought her a sword and cape. She is currently outside fighting a dragon as I type. And she is a Musketeer. Who needs Disney World??We just had to get princess hair.
Then we bought a sword and cape. Because, well, I'll get back to you on that one.
And we topped the day off by riding an elephant! I would have TOTALLY been the one up there, but I was wearing a maxi dress. Not elephant riding duds.
Jack thought the elephant riding was hilarious!
On the way out of the park, we stopped to get these shots. Anthony is having to hold each kid up to their "necks".
Tessa's princess is named Nancy Noeneck.
Jack's knight is named, Sir Hangsalot.
