Back to one of our favorite camping spots

Last weekend we went back to Buffalo Creek Recreation Area.  It's on the Colorado Trail, free, very spread out, and the dogs can roam off leash.  We did a 2.5 mile hike on Saturday and 3 miles on Sunday.  The boys are good hikers!  Especially when they get a marshmallow every .5 mile as long as they haven't complained.  Bribery works with these kids.

Being crazy

Cooking dinner

The setup

Taken by Jonah

Joe was convinced that a squirrel was deliberately throwing pine cones down on him, so the boys were enthralled.

I said "put your arms around each other" and Jonah did a half-hearted arm to the side move.

Trey: I'm getting hypnotized by Jonah's very large eyes.

Joe's truck hits a milestone

I love when Trey sends me emails!

What trey wants to be...

Going camping!

Someone is getting into the football spirit!

What a beautiful child!

Huh?

Jonah: mommy, did you remember when we saw that castle but the aliens
were all dead?

Ummmmm....no.

Love hikes at sunrise!

My hiking partner had a harder time getting out of bed than I did!

The cheap seats for the high school game

Gone!

Last pool day of the summer

I can't believe the summer is over!  Today is the last day our pool is open, so I got some action shots of the boys.  We were only there for less than hour, then Trey stepped on a bee which stung the bottom of his foot.  At least we know now that he isn't allergic to bee stings!

Bellview park

We tried a new park today with a train. The kids thought it was too slow. :)
