Packing It All In Before The Lake

Cooling off from the summer heat and getting ready for Lake Powell.
The slip'n slide has been a must during the heat this summer and...
 ...having friends over to play on the slip'n slide is even better.

 Yay! Omi arrived June 27th after spending time with her friends in Colorado Springs (and unfortunately getting to see the fires up close) and soon she'll be heading to Lake Powell with us on the 4th. We're so excited!
 Before heading out of town we had to finish up with the kids swim lessons, Ava's track practice and cheering on Dylan at t-ball practice. Dylan had a great hit and...
 ...made it onto 1st base.
 My Aunt Cindy was also in Denver before we left town so we fit in a fun picnic lunch and wonderful hike with great views.

 To our surprise we were thrilled to get a refreshing, but short splash of rain that cooled us off enough to hike longer than we expected in the crazy heat and... 
I loved that the kids went hiking in their new...
 ...4th of July swim suites from Sharona.
After a fun hike it was time to get pack'n for our trip but, the kids seemed to find a much better use of the coolers and...

...last but, not least running in a 4th of July race with post race jumpy castles and fun, festive activities for the kids was a perfect way to celebrate the 4th before leaving town. With the fire danger being so high in CO this year, many firework shows were canceled so instead of watching fireworks this year, we packed the car and headed west for vacation right after the race. Stay tooned for up coming Lake Powell fun.
