4th of July weekend

Brooklynn is ready for the big bike ride!
Wednesday the Deegans came over for some swimming time! It was Hazel's first time swimming, and Brooklynn had to show her how it's done.
Thursday afternoon we packed up and headed to the mountains for Brooklynn's first camping trip. After driving to numerous campsites, we finally found one that wasn't full. It started raining right away, so Steve had to put up the new tent in the pouring rain while we waited in the car. After dinner our attempts at starting a campfire were not too successful, but after an hour and a half we finally got it going! Brooklynn was out shortly after, but that didn't last long. She refused to sleep in her Pack 'n Play (she was unsure of the whole tent sleeping thing), so she had to sleep with us. Problem was she's never slept with us, so she just wanted to play the entire night. We decided at about 3 a.m. we were leaving the next morning.

Ready to go!

Trying to walk in the tough terrain
Friday morning after packing up we went to Chataqua Park in Boulder for some hiking. It was a steep climb, and I'm not sure who struggled more.....Julie or B.J. Poor old guy!


B.J. and Sonny

Saturday we went to Westminster for the fireworks show. We thought Brooklynn might be scared of the loud fireworks, but she just "ooohhhhed and awwwwed" at them.
