Summer!

Summer fun has come to an end! Boo Hoo! Such a fantastic trip to Durango, Colorado. It was unusually cold that trip, but our accommodations were right downtown, a full condo with lots to do. We caught a movie one day, went to the Children's museum, and got 2 days of Bouldering at Turtle Lake. It felt so wonderful to have the girls out climbing with us. Durango is a cool little town with great food and drink. I enjoyed my morning runs through the town. Our camera broke on the trip, so we can only have the memories that are in our minds! We got to go over to Will's sister Emily's house and meet her boyfriend Scott and lots of her nice friends. She seems to have a great little network out there and we are so happy for her and her independence. Scott is a really fun guy and he seems to care a lot about her. On the way home we stopped at the sand dunes and had a blast despite the 120 mile an hour winds! Too Fun! The kids did incredible in Will's new 4 door Titan! That is the only reason I will ever profess to like it~ b/c it's huge!

Summer back in Boulder was filled with lots of friends, BBQs, early morning runs and some gym time for climbing. The kids wrapped up most of their activities and took on swimming lessons at our pool. It has been nice to see the progression of Lucette's swimming at this pool over the past 6 years. Violet is now swimming without any floating devices and Marlowe likes the water the best out of all 3 babies at that age. We went to a Rockies 4th of July firework game and the girls loved it! We also traveled to San Diego. We stayed in an amazing resort on the bay and we ventured to Sea World, traveling by water taxi, Lego Land and San Diego Zoo's Safari Park. It was a week of lifelong memories for the kids and i am so glad we got to expose them to so much fun. Legoland was a hit for Will and I, who usually shy of them parks. I have to say the food was good and it was so clean and family friendly!
