More Summer Fun

Unfortunately I didn't have my camera for the 4th of July fun but WOW, what an amazing day!  We started with a 5k, the girls both ran their first ever and did amazing!  Emily wants to continue and train for another in August while Lizzy is on the fence.  After that we went to the Wet parade in Pueblo West.  The kids were soaked and laughing and screaming the whole time.  I sat with a friend near an umbrella (for shade, it was 95 out) and that made us an instant target.  We were soaked by the end as well.  Later that night we went to a BBQ with friends and watched the fireworks.  It made me so grateful for the town we live in and the freedoms we enjoy.  Thank you to all who have served to provide that!~

Another favorite around here is bowling.  During the summer the local bowling alley offers free bowling for the kids, who can resist?  Jackson is big enough to do it now too and they all had so much fun.  Here are some pictures from one of our recent trips and the kids hamming it up.
