Cousins and other musings...

On the way back to the Springs from Estes Park we stopped to meet the newest Milburn family member! :)

We did not take Sandi with us....and so we were so excited to see her when we picked her up after a week away! It looked like she made some new friends.... ;-) (j/k)

We did not stay away from family for too long...about 4 days later we drove up to Sarah's house to meet my parents who had my nephew, Max, for a couple of days. The cousins all picked up right where they left off...It was awesome to watch them play together.

Summer + Samantha = Watermelon.

They are playing wiffle ball at the Faulkner's new home...they now have grass and other "additions" to their yard...but, this was great for the kids to run around on while we were there.

It got really, REALLY hot.....so they moved inside...

Right before Max had to go to the airport, I was able to get a couple of awesome pictures. I love this series of photos.

so sweet.

4th of July and Josh's 8th Birthday!

0 comments

Well...I believe this will be the final post for our week in Estes Park! :)
Here is Samantha and Nana making a cake for the 4th of July!

She was working very hard....concentrating....

Ta Da!!!! It was delicious too!

We, of course, spent some time at Coffee on the Rocks....feeding the ducks...drinking coffee...and running around...

Nana and Papa.

There's Papa, Sam, and riley....

Here are the kids playing some game they made up while they were waiting for the rain to pass....

We weren't sure if the firework show was going to happen..but...it did. :)

They got out a game I remember playing when I was Josh's age....Skittles....I think that's the name of it...

bowling.

Fireworks!

The Faulkner fam also spent the night so they were around for Josh's birthday too. Thanks! So, we had to go play some baseball!

Then...Josh finally got to go down the big slide...I don't remember the exact number..but..it was close to 7x....

Eating outside for his birthday dinner!

I still can't wrap my mind around the fact that he is 8.....but, that doesn't matter....because he is and he just started the 2nd grade!

Alright...I wonder what we have coming up next??

the end.

Estes Park...Part 3

0 comments

Um...I took a lot of pictures this particular week...We might be in Estes Park posts for awhile...

Anyways...as you can see...Sam loves her corn on the cob.

She also loves to help Nana with the bird feeders!

Josh got to open up an early birthday present from Eric! It was a new hiking backpack with a whistle, binoculars and all sorts of fun stuff...

Here they are after said hike.... ;-)

While the boys are away....the girls go to town! :)

One evening, Eric and I, went out to dinner at our favorite restaurant up there, The Dunraven. Delicious. Afterwards we went "touring" around to places that we'd never driven to before. We went into the YMCA of the Rockies which I've been to way too many times from high school/college stuff...but, we kept on driving behind the cabins and such...we ended up on a dirt road and on property I'm not sure was public...BUT...it.was.BEAUTIFUL! Here a couple of pictures from there...

Ok...so... we played putt putt a couple of times and my pictures got all out of order...anyways... doesn't matter... but, I'm pretty sure this was the 4th of July.

Josh loves putt putt so much that yesterday he asked me if there was a putt putt team he could join.

Again, a beautiful backdrop for the course!

We also went to Coffee On The Rocks several times. This place is wonderful. Wonderful coffee. Wonderful food. Wonderful ducks. Wonderful view. Wonderful time.
