Eldorado Springs

On one of the really hot days in July we packed a picnic and headed to Eldorado Springs to cool off.

We had to put our feet in the stream.  The boys thought it was too cold to begin with but soon it didn't bother them.  That happens when you are having fun.

Of course rocks had to be thrown.  The bigger the better.

They were fascinated with the hummingbirds.  

We hiked part way up the mountain.  All three of them could have made it, but Gram had to stop about 2/3rds of the way up.  I'm not sure if it was age or dehydration or both.

We had a great day even if we didn't make it all the way up.

Fun at the Library

One of the programs at the library this summer was building a fort.  They supplied blankets, boxes, etc and let the kids have fun.  The boys fort came complete with front and back doors, shelves and a refrigerator with food (blocks of cheese).

Afterwards we went to a park and had a picnic.  While we were there a day care center came for play time.  One of the girls was from Kaiden's class and they were delighted to see each other.

The Longest Train

Gavin always wants Tito to play Legos with him.  He usually wants to make a Bar-B-Quem or a Dump-It Truck or a Snow Plow, but this day he wanted to make the Longest Train ever.  So they did!

First Day of School 2019

Yesterday was the first day of school.  Kaiden is in 5th grade, Trevin in 2nd.  

Water Fight

We made sponge balls one hot day and had a great time!  By the time we were done, everyone was soaked.

That even included Tito who tried to hide on the porch.

Seven Eleven

A little late posting this, but we went to 7-11 on 7/11 to get free Slurpees.
