Janus Day at Elitches!

Janus hosted an employee day at Elitches.

Allen and Porter just got home from their canoe trip, but we couldn't pass up a free day to the amusement park!  So we packed up for the day and headed out for some fun.

We had a great time.  Janus fed us lunch.  And Porter and Sidney rode all of the big rides, multiple times!

Jax took a little nap :)

Rylee's favorite ride was the big Ferris Wheel, so we rode that one a lot.

We stayed until the evening.  It started raining so we played a little longer and walked to the car in the pouring rain!  The kids thought it was a pretty fun adventure ;)

Thanks Janus!

Scout canoe trip

These boys had quite the adventure!  

They went on a week long canoe trip.  

Lots of rafting, sun, heat, storms, swimming, mud, and fun :)

It was Epic!

Allen ran in the Epic relay with his team, "The Crested Gluttes".  We had a great time cheering him on and hanging out in Crested Butte.  This is always one of our favorite trips!

Great job, team Crested Gluttes!!

4th of July!

We decided to brave the crowds and hit the lake for the 4th of July.  It was a beautiful day.  So we called up some friends and made plans.

Cute boating girls!

Porter

Sidney and Allen.  Go Sid!

Cute friends :)

Jax had so much fun.  He played in the sand/dirt and poured buckets of water on himself!

Because of the extremely high fire danger our town and all of our surrounding towns cancelled their fireworks show.  We couldn't have the 4th of July with no fireworks!  So we found out that they were doing them after the Rapids soccer game.  So we got tickets and drove WAY up north to watch the game….and the fireworks!  And we talked our friends into it too!

Man, we all have a lot of kids!

The fireworks were really good.  We were glad we were able to see them :)

Happy 4th of July!
