Let's see. I figured I would tell a couple of months at a time! After Mother's Day it snowed here alot! It was nice and deep in the back yard. The kids had a blast with it. The snow here is wet and soft and tends to melt away in a 24 hour period. Much different then ND.
As you can see Chris had a great time himself!

We have done quit a bit of exploring since we have moved here. We received a zoo pass and we went to the Natural History Museum. The boys loved the dinosaur displays and they ask to go there often.
On Memorial Day Weekend Chris had some time off so we decided to do some camping at Estes Park which is one of the entrances to Rocky Mountain National Park. We had so much fun. It did rain every day and at night it was very chilly but we loved being outdoors and being together.
Alec with a walking stick that he found. All of the kids loved taking turns with it. It became a very nice writing stick too.
The day before we left we went for a hike on a trail head that took us in to the Park. The beginning of the hike was a steep incline and the kids kept stopping every couple of minutes saying " I'm tired and I need some shade" Chris and I would just look at each other and think "You're tired? What about Mom and Dad. After we got to the top it became very simple and we were hiking amongst aspens and pines with the beautiful peaks in view.
I love this picture. Alec loves being up high!
We hiked right into the Great Basin Campground. If it would not have been for the beetles there would have been alot more trees. On the way back it started to rain and we spent most of the evening playing games in our tent.
