July 13th...Royal Gorge Park

Fourth of July Weekend...

I forget that summers are actually SO busy for some reason! My classes that I teach have gone from 15-16 during the school year to 6 today... Everyone is out and about and for some reason, we find ourselves so busy and I find myself too busy to blog...Well, actually, I just think I don't take the time for it. Catching up can be exhausting and I have a LOT of catching up to do...on my blog and reading all my friends. Well, here's my latest attempt at catching up....a little: This is what the 4th of July was like around our neighborhood this year...

We went up to the Air Force Academy...it was chilly! So, we walked around for a while and headed home.

This is Max riding forward facing in his new car seat for the first time...he LOVES it!

We'd sworn off taking our kids to restaurants on Memorial Day, but broke down and went out to eat again...they actually did better than expected, but we aren't planning to keep taking them out much....Isn't it funny, when you become parents how you develop these little "rules" amongst yourselves, like 'Only go out to eat when it's NOT a busy time of the day...like 4 in the afternoon!'.

We finally got a bike trailer for our kids and it's been great. I think Taylor and Max look so much alike in this picture.
