Snow Mountain Ranch

Our first getaway with Nanny and Poppy was to Snow Mountain Ranch, near Winter Park Colorado.  We stayed for 3 days and did lots of things (I'll have to make this several different posts :)).  We were all very excited to get out for a hike - it was Finn's first hike and Max's first hike on foot...

It didn't take long for Max to start searching for the perfect rocks to throw in the river...

It took him a little longer to realize how heavy the rocks were and ditch them for Poppy's walking stick...

And then he realized, "why do I need Poppy's walking stick when..."

"Poppy will just carry me!"



As soon as we made it to our destination, the boys didn't waste anytime before they started throwing rocks into the water...

We had to drag them away for a few family photos...

And to hike with Daddy to the top of the waterfall...

Finn was happy to stay at the bottom and hang with Poppy...

It was a fantastic day, with lots more fun to come!

Nanny and Poppy are here!

Right after Grandma left, Nanny and Poppy arrived from Australia!  The boys barely gave them time to adjust to the 14-hour time change before they were off showing them everything!  Nanny and Poppy have only ever visited Denver in winter, so we were very excited to show them what it's like in summer.  So, we headed straight for the fountains...

And the boys were very excited to try out their new Eels (Colin's favorite Australian rugby League team) towels.

 Nanny and Poppy have also never been to Boulder, so we took them there, where we found more fountains and a festival on Pearl Street...

Nanny and Poppy are here visiting for 5 weeks, so I have A LOT more pictures to post - I just need to get them organized!  More to come soon!

Grandma's visit

We have had visitors for the entire month of June (my excuse for not keeping up with my posts), starting with Grandma.  She was here for only a weekend, but we had so much fun in those 2 days!  We played in 2 diffferent sets of water fountains...

And had fun at home too...

Finn had a full-time "ride" in his car :)

Now we can't wait to go visit Grandma in Wisconsin later this summer!
