First day of school and pigtails...

Here they are! I have been waiting a long time for these little pigtails. She moves so much this is as good as they got. A little crooked but cute. They curl under perfectly.

While AJ was at school we went to celebrate a friend's birthday at Safari Park in Southlake. It was pretty cute.

Here is AJ's first day of school. He was very excited.

Mr Cory next door treated us to Mr softee. What a treat! They dip in chocolate and sprinkles galore. Right at you curbside, too! We ate it all before we took the pic, oops! It was too good for waiting.

Where is Father Time????

I've been playing with no flash photography and photo shop while random shooting, without using the viewfinder. Here are some shots I came up with...

We had a full day on the 4th of July. We decided to forgo our traditional bash with the neighbors and be with family this yr.

we have been enjoying watermellon frequently this summer. It is so refreshing!

Micah wanted the camera.

Hanging out!

Took it all in, breath by breath.

Fed the chipmunks...

I think they should be ready for next winter.

Viewfinders, hmmmm?

We are ready to go back.

Co Part 4

Camping in Estes Park!! We camped for two nights at Jellystone, with a 6 yr old, 4 yr old 2 two yr olds and two babies!! It was a lot of work which we expected, but it was really a lot of fun! Here is Andy and Ryon setting up camp.

The nap time challenge..... What to do with babies when your tent is too hot to sleep in? Well, here is the beginning of the walk.
And here they are at the end of our walk and stop at the park.

This is our last morning at the campsite. In between there was a lot of exploring to be done. No time for picture taking then.

Here I was standing upright with both feet on the ground and Ben was above my head. That is how big this boulder was.

Of course we had to run into Yogi!!

This view was from our campsite. Wish I had taken a full shot of our setup.

COLD at night. I would guess near 35 degrees. During the day it was a bit toasty.

Waiting on breakfast.

Still waiting.............

This was actually taken when we first got there. Just uploaded out of reverse order.
