Summer 2016

I can't believe how fast this summer went by!  We filled up the weeks with constant activity!  Emmett had a ball and it was nice to stay busy.  I was pretty tired at first but Nora started sleeping more by about August.  I had lots of help from friends watching over Nora and letting Emmett play with the other kiddos. We went to the pool, made several zoo trips (Denver and Colorado Springs), went to Cheyenne Frontier Days for the rodeo, had our first carnival experience, also first round of stitches for Emmett:(, and rounded out the summer with a lake trip over Labor Day!  For having a newborn, we didn't take much downtown!I think it was a fantastic summer filled with fun and adventure!

The train table won!  Emmett ended up with 3 stitches after jumping on my yoga mat and sliding into the train table edge.  Not pretty:(

Cheyenne Frontier Days Rodeo.  We went twice this past summer.  The first outing was a bit of a disaster!  There was a huge hail storm that rolled through at the end of the rodeo. There were reported tornadoes about a mile north of us.  We were under tables in the tent taking cover with security before they could move us into a safe building.  The kids were champs and we survived!

2nd round at the rodeo was a whole different experience

The carnival was a fun event for the kids.  Kinda feel like I'm looking at 13 years in the making!
