Memorial Day Weekend

This Memorial Day we headed east to Colorado. We went with some friends, the Smith's, and stayed in Chris's parent's cabin. We had tons of fun, and soaked up every bit of sun and warmth we could because it was MUCH nicer than any weather we have seen at home yet this year.


We loaded up Friday morning, and came home Monday afternoon. We could all fit in the Smith's car, so we did- thanks for driving! It was a roomier ride on the way home when Chris figured out that 3 car seats did indeed fit in the back seat.

the cabin

we blew bubbles (Ashlee spilled and/or drank 3 of them)

had a squirt gun fight

played kiddie baseball

and watched some real baseball! Thanks to Dad Will for the hats and tickets!!!

The Rockies played the Dodgers and won! The kids loved singing "take me out to the ball game" best of all.

we saw some wildlife

we went on lots of walks.......

but sometimes we rode instead of walking

we attempted to fly a kite, emphasis on attempted (who bought that cheap kite anyway:)

we fished

I fished for 5 minutes and got the line tangled..................twice.
But at least I didn't throw the pole into the water..................this time.

Chris caught a fish on Saturday

than caught another one on Monday

we climbed "mount Maria"

we juggled

made nature pictures

and enjoyed our shadows.

We had a really fun time and came home exhausted.

And that is the longest post I have ever made and now I'm exhausted.
