Over the years I've realized I've gotten much worse about taking pictures, although it's so easy now that we carry phones in our pockets everywhere we go. Luckily Steve is a little more vigilant and we were able to get a few photos to capture some of our favorite Summer 2016 memories!
We had a few days at the ballpark cheering on our Rockies!
This summer I decided to not have Adaley nap, because we wanted to savor our time together and not return home to nap daily. Well, it was mostly successful, but we did have our occasional sleeper at the dinner table. No lie! She truly fell asleep like this!
More Rockies mayhem!
We parked so far away and told the girls we could get a rickshaw on the way back. It was better than any Rockies ticket for them! Poor driver really had his work cut out for him!
We decided to finally try a long family bike ride, so we picked the trail up just south of our house and rode to beautiful Commerce City, about an 8 mile ride. The girls were so proud of themselves, yet so exhausted! Looking forward to many more of these in our future.
We hosted an outdoor movie night for the neighborhood, complete with drinks and popcorn. It was so fun getting everyone together!
We took lots of bike rides Sunday evenings to "The Hills" with our friends. Riding the tandem down those was death-defying!
Annual July 4th celebration complete with Mr. Redneck himself! 'Merica!
July 4th pool time
We checked out a new science museum in Fort Collins that was amazing! We all had a blast, especially jamming in their recording studios.
The band is here!
Lots and lots of pool time! It seemed like that's all they wanted to do this summer, which was ok with me!
Hanging with The Pink Ladies after the Grease play with Magra and John.
WOW museum with the Hepp ladies
We were even lucky enough to to have the Thompsons visit before school started! We all fell in love with little Amelia and argued over who would hold her next.
Now that the kids are older I absolutely cherish our summers together! There are so many things to do and so little time, so we do our best and make the best of it. When I taught I always dreaded the summers ending, but I dread them ending even more now. :-(
