Ally at her gymnastics class. Ryan is gymnastics also. However, he is dropping gymnastics for t-ball which starts today!

We spent a lot of time lounging on the couch.

Ally, so brave, going down the slide at the swimming pool. She kept climbing the stairs and going down the slide for about an hour.

Ryan and Xavier getting in the pool.

We spent some time at the park near our house. Henry would pitch baseballs to the kids and they would practice their swing. This pictures was taken with my new camera.

If you look closely you can see the ball.

Here is Ryan, enjoying the shade, at the Garden of the Gods in Colorado City.

And here is Ally posing for the camera.

Is this rock big or what?

Overall we had an awesome summer. We went camping a few times. Once with my parents, another time with our friends Char and Anthony (and their two kids), and of course our week long camping trip at the beginning of the summer. The kids attended vacation bible school and I taught a class. We drove up to Colorado City and spent the weekend up their seeing the sites. We drove up to Pikes Peak, toured Manitou Springs and visited the Colorado Zoo. The kids and I spent some time in Taos with my parents. We went swimming a few times, visited the zoo, the aquarium and Explora. Trips to the park were a weekly event. The kids also attended a camp at Explora for a week. A very eventful summer.
