Summer Rain Day

We don't get these sorts of days very often here in Colorado!

Bye bye baby teeth

Dad has been saying for the last couple months that apples are a good way to encourage a loose tooth. Well, we were at Robin's house two weekends ago and he plucked an apple out of the tree for me. One partial bite later, I calmly reached into my mouth, grabbed something, and said, "Here's my tooth, Dad." Mom cried.

One last look before bed.

Trip videos

A few random videos from the New Jersey and Montana trips!

Montana - Group shots

Taken minutes before getting into the car for the ride home, but it's the only shot of all four of us!

Montana - Yard Time

 Sparklers!

 Bath night.

Why waste precious minutes going all the way inside?

Montana - Out & About

Skalkaho Falls

 One person listening to the camera man, one person too interested in the water.

 Reward for throwing tons of rocks into the river? Root beer floats!

Montana - Car Time

New Jersey - Around the neighborhood

Just a few more photos from the New Jersey trip!

Be ready if you get anywhere near the bouncy house!

Raspberry bushes at a friend's house.

Ok, Little Sal, that's enough now.

New Jersey - Van Saun

For our second summer in a row, we made a couple trips over to Van Saun Park (about 25 minutes from Grandma and Grandpa's).

 Waiting for the train.

Then over to the carousel...

And then the playground...

And then the playground near Judey, Chris, and Alexis' house...

 

New Jersey - Zoo

We ventured into the city to visit the Bronx Zoo. It is huge!

Aunt Judey treated everyone to camel rides. And then we got caught in a downpour on the way back to the van. We had back-up clothes for the kids, but the adults weren't so lucky!

The heat and humidity took its toll on one visitor!
