Wrapping Up Summer

 What a FUN summer it's been- long days, sleeping in, being outside till the wee hours of nightfall, swimming, friends, sleepovers, scrounging for lunch, trampolines, dress up, dates, playdates, sticky hands and dirty feet, movies nights, ice cream, family, birthdays, celebrations, riding bikes, exploring... just plain FUN!

Good picture to end with:) 

Frisco "Camping" Trip July 2015

We had planned a camping trip with friends for mid July at Happy Meadows Campground near Woodland Park. Due to a VERY rainy season, the campground was flooded so we had to make alternate plans. Thank goodness for kind friends who let us use their home in Frisco as a getaway for 3 days, 2 nights. It was MUCH more comfortable than a tent and we had a great time relaxing, exploring Frisco and hiking. 

My children don't normally dress like cows but it was Free Chickfila Day the day that we went up to the mountains- so hit up Chickfila for free breakfast and lunch before heading up! 

 I am not sure the name of this hike but it was right by Copper Mountain and it was awesome! 

It was 3 miles to thelakes and 3 miles back. The kids made it a little over 2 miles up the mountain and then since rain looked looming, Andrew and Mark took them back down, while Nathalie, Ella and I went the last mile to see the lakes/view. It was gorgeous and we were so proud of everyone for hiking as long as they did! 

 All the kids LOVEd using the water purifying straw thatAndrew brought along. 

 We saw a bunch of pack mules headed up the mountain carrying some materials to do a project at the top- pretty strong creatures! 

This was as far as we all got together. 

 Frisco is a great town to explore! 

 They have a great little free museum in Frisco that was fun to check out. 

Such a fun trip with great people!
