Silver Lake, Brighton

It was a beautiful day Monday. So we thought we would go out for a hike. We ran up to Silver Lake. It was a great time hiking with Sammy. He loved pointing at things and mumbling.

He walked around a lot of the lake on his own. I think he would have walked around the whole lake on his own if we would have had the patience.

He also loves the water. He tried to walk right into it.



Found a tree that was just a little bigger than him.



It is a beautiful place to visit, and a pretty quick drive. I recommend it to anyone that would like to get into the mountains. The trail is even wheelchair friendly.



It is always fun to be able to find a little snow in July.

Fourth of July

For the fourth of July, Jeremiah and Colby play in the Park City volleyball tournament.
Each year we gather up a cooler full of goodies, our lawn chairs, and our sunscreen to watch a lot of volleyball. This year was especially great because the boys took 3rd place!! They won gift certificates to a local Mexican restaurant. It was a good time!

Here's the guys playing like crazy!

Here's Sammy and his cousins, all looking the part for the holiday! Aren't they cute!!

While the boys were playing ball, Sammy wanted to join in the action. He and another kid were kicking the volleyball around the park. Sammy can't get enough of the outdoors. Balls and dirt are his best friends. He's all boy!

Irrigation

Sammy thought playing in the irrigation was one of the best things he has ever done. He does not care if he gets dirty. I think the dirtier he is the happier he is. It is a lot of fun watching he grow and play. Being a parent is a great experience.


I guess also when you have a boy that can make you smile when he does stuff like this also helps make the parenting a little easier and a lot more fun.

Family Vacation to Durango, CO

So I haven't been very good at updating this blog, so I decided that I would just post a bunch of picture so you could see the fun we were having.



Moab


A family picture is always nice.


Sammy really loves the carrier! I guess when you can walk yourself, why would you want someone else to carry you?


One thing Sammy loves is the DIRT!


Got to love the bounce house.


The trains from Durango to Silverton is such a cool ride. I recommend it to everyone.


Sammy thought it was a good place to take a nap.


But, it is a 3 hour ride he also had plenty of time to be awake and see the great scenery.




Sammy might just become a pilot. He loved flying in this helicopter.


A family picture at some of the ruins at Mesa Verde. That was a site to see. I would love to go back there and spend a couple of day hiking and seeing some of the different communities and dwellings.

We had a great time. We have a lot more pictures but I thought this would be good for now.
