The girls were really interested in the ruins and learning about the Anasazi Indians. Kenzie made us all sufficiently nervous climbing up the really tall ladders into and out of the ruins. She kept reassuring us that she could do it on her own....sheesh...I about had a heart attack.... multiple times.
In more recent news....Graycie had a birthday AND got baptized. We are so lucky to have such wonderful and supportive family. Grandma and Grandpa Sidwell came. Grandma and Grandpa Morrill along with Lacey and her boys came too. Graycie's baptism happened to be over the 4th of July weekend so the whole family got be here for the 4th of July festivities. The kids had a fun time lighting fireworks in the street in front of our house.....turns out it was totally illegal, which we didn't find out until afterwards. :) Much to Asher's delight we also made a trip to the top of Pikes Peak as well.
Graycie's baptism was so tender and perfect. My mother and Dustin's mom both spoke. Her daddy baptized her..... I couldn't hold back the tears and can hardly believe that our Graycie is already 8 years old. It was a wonderful day!
Lacey and her boys stayed for a week after the baptism and we spent it running all over Colorado Springs. We even made a trip to Denver to a little amusement park there called "RiverSide Amusement Park." It was seriously the most ghetto amusement park I have ever seen.....however, our kids didn't seem to notice at all. They had the time of their lives!
Most recently, we returned home from a trip to Oklahoma where we had a family reunion with my mom's side of the family. We went boating and visited Turner Falls. It was quite beautiful. It was so fun to see my aunts, uncles, and cousins.
The summer isn't over....I hope we have enough energy to finish it out!
