Summer Fun!

We've been doing our best to get out of our apartment this summer, since we have no yard!  So here are a whole bunch of pictures of things we've been doing. My friend Kimmie took us to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science with her season pass.  The kids enjoyed all the dinosaur bones.  

 Caylie loved the water play center.

And the lights.

 And the blocks.

Samuel and Justin with a mummy friend.
(This really kinda creeps me out, haha.)

This water park is just down the street from our apartment.

Samuel was all excited to go, but when we got there, he wasn't so sure about it, for some reason.  I got him to get into this picture, but that was it.

Caylie, on the other hand, was into it!

We used to go to a lot of Rockies baseball games every year, but now we're lucky to get to one a season.  This time they were playing the Toronto Blue Jays.

We had great seats just six rows up from the visitor's dugout.

Caylie and Samuel love Dinger.

Beautiful Coors Field.  It's not as good a picture as from the first base line, with the mountains in the background, but I still love it!

Troy Tulowitski's first game back at Coors after being traded to the Blue Jays last year.

 Rockies win!!

Our apartment complex has a nice pool where we've gone many mornings before it gets crowded.

Brittany and Tessa came with us once.  Tessa is a fishy!

Keelan began playing with our church's worship band.  He taught himself guitar over the last couple of years.

Poker and watermelon at the apartment.  

One rainy day, the kids went out to play in it.  But rain doesn't last long here, so it was partly sunny by the time they got outside.

And soon there was a beautiful rainbow!  

We've been shopping around for a few furniture items for our new house.  Here's Samuel with the Furniture Row guy.  

Justin and mom, being our nutty selves.

Samuel and Caylie began swimming lessons at an indoor pool.  Here is Sam's class.

And Caylie's class.

One day Caylie's teacher had the class practice putting on life vests.

And then made a little train in the water.  They're all holding on to each other's feet.

On the last day of the session, Samuel went down the big water slide.  

Caylie practicing her back float.  

They will start another swim lesson session in a couple of weeks.  Samuel has moved up to the next level, so he's excited about that.  I'm thinking of keeping him in lessons through the school year, as Justin did.  We'll see how things progress.

June 29 was Samuel Day!  We celebrated one year with Samuel at Red Robin restaurant.  (Caylie always picks Chinese . . . he rarely does.)  It was a good day.

One more month till we close on our house and school starts!
