July 2025

 Loving the summer and ready for more fun...

Which includes more fishing - but really turned into only catching crawdads.

Hiking my dads birthday in memory of him.

More hiking - showing Grandma the Paint Mines

More dates - K for Korean BBQ and Go Karting

Checking out the Renaissance Fair 

I think we had more fun dressing the part than we did at the fair ;)

Fourth of July was jammed full with fun.

Ended with a baseball game and fireworks.

Had out annual blue and red color fight.

Feeding ducks

More hikes... but this time I made it on the news.

Got to hike up the Incline for the first time and it was tough!  Went with my cousin and Alex's cousins.  On our way down we got dumped on and a storm rolled in.  Apparently it was quite a lot of rain and caused a little flash food.  We made it out of there just fine but were at the end of the trail when it got bad. 

Body painting

Getting our free slurpees 7/11

Visiting the Denver Aquarium

Playing silly games together

Accidentally leaving our garage door open, that has our food storage in it, and a bear getting to it.  Taking it out to her cubs.

Little boys enjoyed a church day camp at a local church.

Then I needed to go check out Mt Herman and hiked it with Rufus
