Rain Rain Go Away

We definitely need the rain, but more than 2 inches in 48 hours?!?!  yikes!  There's major flooding north of us in Weld County ~ they say we might start to dry out tonight....

Our Newest Godchild

Today we celebrated the baptism of Evan Nicholas Prinzi - Rich and Betsy's little boy and our newest Godchild. It was a wonderful service at St. Gregory's Episcopal Church and afterwards we had lunch at their place.

ELK!

Oh how I love living where we live! These guys are back for the summer just hanging out along the greenbelt! I'm glad I saw them today so they don't startle me at 6:00 am tomorrow!!!

Summer Fun

We've had a great start to summer! 

...Grandpa Bob and Gram Jeanette were here from New York (taken during Joshua's baseball game)...

...Joshua and Hannah were to the Denver Zoo with their friends (here are Hannah and Madison)...

...Wine Festivals are underway ~ Glenn was in town for the Manitou Springs Colorado Wine Festival and he and Greg poured (oh how we love our Colorado vinos)...

...and the kids have been doing lots of swimming (gotta love the matching swim shirts!)...

Caring • Honesty • Respect • Responsibility • Faith

...the core values of YMCA Snow Mountain Ranch (www.ymcarockies.org) where we headed after school got out ~ this was our 4th year here and it has quickly become our favorite family vacation destination!!! We hiked, swam, played putt-putt and ladderball, and enjoyed many games of Monopoly, Sorry, and Yahtzee at the cabin! Total rest and relaxation - fabulous!!!

...writing spot among the trees...

...our official fire starter and keeper...

...early morning pics with my walking buddy...

...hike to the waterfalls where we encountered 1-foot snow drifts at the top...

 

...and of course, time at the craft building...

...amazing views...

...miniature golf in the rockies ~ awesome...

...ladderball ~ we love it...

...and a little kickball and frisbee, too...

...auntie came up and spent a night with us, too...

What a wonderful way to kick off our summer vacation!!!
