Summer Lovin' 2019

 We had a very fun summer right after Zachary was born. Since it was the first time in a long time we didn't have a foster child, we wanted to take advantage of not needing to ask permission to leave the state or take a trip. We planned a trip to Taos, New Mexico and then another trip to Estes Park here in Colorado.  Jeff's brother Patrick and his family also came out to visit and meet baby Zachary, so we enjoyed family time with them as well. Other than taking a newborn on car trips when he hates riding in the car, we had a great summer!! 

Road Trip- Final Stop

Before we headed home we decided to stay an extra day in Kansas City and spend time with Jeff's brother and his family. His brother took the day off work and we all went to the aquarium and out to lunch. That evening the kids played and played and played..outside in the pool and inside the house. We had a yummy Mexican dinner made by my BIL and SIL and Jeff's mom brought over some yummy desserts. We made sure to take some family pictures before we headed to bed since we only all get together about once a year. The aquarium pictures aren't great because they didn't allow me to use the flash. Enjoy the pictures!!

Stamping their books- they had 8 different spots to stamp them and earned a "prize" at the end.
