Garden of the Gods

A few weeks ago, we went to Garden of the Gods with the Swanson Family. It was their first time there. We agreed on a time to meet inside the park, but we couldn't find each other! They tried to find us first (since we arrived first), without any luck, so then we searched for them. After about 45 minutes, we were finally all together! We toured the park and it was such a beautiful day. Here are the pictures of both of our families.

Wyatt, Derrick, Ruby, Jen, Chris, Jackson & Avery

They came over for dinner after walking around the park. The younger kids had so much fun playing together! It is nice to finally have some family close.

Ice Cream!!!

It has been such a busy summer! I haven't been keeping up with the blog like I want to, but it should be winding down soon! The kids started VBS tonight at our church. I thought it would be fun to go out for ice cream afterwards since we never do that. There is a place just down the road, a mom and pop ice cream and sweet shop. We gave it a try and it was a huge hit! Lexi wants to take Daddy there in a couple of days for a treat. She is so sweet!

They had ice cream everywhere! Lexi even got it in her hair! It was past bedtime when we got home, but they needed baths bad!
