Tubing in the mountains

Halloween fun!

We went to the Colorado Railroad Museum in costume (well, one of us) and got to ride on the oldest steam engine train in Colorado... and the conductor even gave us treats for Halloween!

Then there was pumpkin carving...

... which is always best followed by a dance party:

And finally, on Halloween, there was trick or treating with friends!

Nap?

Nah. Instead, I like to read a good coloring book with my shoes on backwards (because sometimes "my toes are cold").

What's up?

Buddies

Unexpected treat

Our friends were in Colorado for a family vacation and we got to go visit them. We stuffed what little time we had with them with fun, fun, fun....

More fun and more trips!

We are hopelessly behind on the blog... something about mom not having a chance to sit down at the computer. It's a smartphone thing. Once your phone does email and takes photos and links them to Facebook and all that... well, the blog is forgotten :-(. She says she's gonna try harder....

So to catch you up on my summer before it's entirely over, let's talk about my visit from my cousins in July! P-Rock and I-boy came to hang with me for a few days- we rocked it.  We had a sleepover every night, played at the pool, went to the childrens' museum, played with dirt, rode in the wagon, rode a train and went on rides at Heritage Square.... and so much more. It was SO MUCH FUN, I thought I was going to explode!

handsome in our suits!

train rides are AWESOME

bumper boats with daddy

we miss you!!

When my cousins had to leave, I was suuuuuuper sad and lonely without them.

Thankfully, my parents had a "recovery" trip planned to see Grandma and Papa! There was much fun to be had in their pool (where I spent most of my time), on Papa's "tractor" and with aunt Laura, too! We also celebrated my birthday early with a fun McQueen cake and lots of presents! Needless to say, I was spoiled rotten :-)

birthday fun!

and lots of "thank you" hugs

It was SUCH a fun time, the only thing that could pull me away was the promise of an airplane ride.... I can't wait to visit again!
