Tire Time

Hank is trying out every playground in Evergreen this summer. 

This morning, he discovered the thrill of the tire swing.

Hank, Bella and Max

 Hank's good friends, Max and Bella, are from our old neighborhood in Lafayette.  

We see them regularly, but every time we try and get a picture of the trio, it just doesn't go so well. 

 This entry is a tribute to their first official good group picture!

Hiking the Trails

Finding stroller friendly hikes in Evergreen are hard to come by, but the Alderfer Open Space park was a perfect introduction for Hank to Mommy's passion.

Once the terrain became interesting, Hank decided to explore the boulders and wooded areas. 

Radar got into the action, too (in the background).

 What a great hiking team!

Big Family Play Date

It was a big morning at our house. 

Aunt Rachel, Sierra, Ryder, Poohpa and Cindy all came over for a family visit.

We started off with a hearty breakfast.

After bellies were full, it was time to head outside.  The kids rode bikes,

 explored the slide,

went on the swings,

and ran around having a blast.

Hank played catch with Poohpa, too.

Thanks, family, for coming to enjoy our new home with us - until next time!

Fourth of July 2012

There may not be fireworks this year, but we didn't let that slow us down a bit. 

This year, we went to the Indian Hills 4th of July Celebration and Parade.

Hank and his friend, Eli, watched the parade stroller style.

Ari also befriended the Crash Test Dummies.

 To top it off, a helicopter flew in to greet the kids.

Wow - what a treat!

 Happy Fourth of July!

Belated Mother's Day Photo

It took some time, but we finally got a good shot of Mommy and Hank

 (and Radar, of course). 

Now if we can manage to get a full family photo with Daddy, too,

 we'll be in GREAT shape!

Boys of Summer

These are happy days!
