Two Weeks in August

It's been two weeks since our last blog. We've been busy at home! Casey has been back at school and having fun with all her friends and teachers. On the 20th we went to WaterWorld in Denver with Sarah, Rowan and Kristi. Everyone had a blast! And there were plenty of slides that the girls were allowed to go on. There was also a great toddler area with a shallow pool, fountains, slides, splash area and more. Unfortunately, the camera I brought did not have a memory card, so no pix:(

That following Saturday, Stan ran in the first annual Warrior Dash at Copper Mountain. A 3.27 mile run/obstacle course. He had to jump over cars, climp a haystack, run through tires, run up the mountain and down the mountain, crawl through a mud pit, climp over a wall and jump over fire. He got muddy and a little beat up, but he had a good time doing it! Thank goodness he survived, because he was in charge of kids that night, while I had "book club" at the house.

This weekend we went hiking around Cataract Lake in Heeney, which is about 30 minutes from us, near Green Mountain Reservoir. The hike was amazing!!

Aunt Kel is still living with us. So we've been trying to keep her entertained. We have all been playing some tennis lately. We have all improved our games a whole lot since the first day.

Casey quote:
Mommy putting bananas around her breakfast instead of in the syrup: "How's that?"
Casey: "it's perfect!"

Casey is still VERY two! She is testing me and aunt kel and stan constantly. Tonight as we were walking she kept saying, "Mommy, no talking. Mommy, stop talking!" She is spending more and more time in "time-out" or her crib, which she seems to prefer sometimes, instead of apologizing or agreeing to obey Mommy. Hoping this phase will end quickly:)

Enjoy the pix and video.
