Blah Blah Blah: Mr. Fix It

No, we didn't have visitor after visitor. There were plenty of baby showers, baptisms, school field trips, Matt traveling out-of-town for work and dinner with friends in-between. At the end of June, Grandpa Don arrived (and just in the nick of time). He was here to watch the kids while we went to our dear friends, Kathy and Will's wedding.

Their dance.

I also got to attend a wedding shower of my good friend Arwen. We had high tea at the Brown Palace. Delightful and delicious!

Matt and Grandpa fixed the side fence that the neighbor's obnoxious weeds had pushed over. While Matt and I worked (and the kids were at school), Dad touched up paint on the garage, painted the window sills, fixed Ezra's door, worked on the side porch and hopefully got a little time to relax.

Grandpa Don and Elias make hummus.

Over the weekend, we headed up to Fraser. We went on a great hike and enjoyed being outside. I was glad that Elias did the 1 mile hike in and back with minimal whining. Since then, we have walked to the library and back with the same results. Some day I want to take him on some fourteeners, so this is just the beginning (I hope).

Elias learns to climb over the fence. Great.

Ezzy likes hiking.

A stream about 1 mile in.

Snacking.

Gotta throw rocks.

On the bridge.

All that hiking wore me out.

On the way back into town, we had a birthday party to attend (they really do never end), Audra's. It was at a gymnastics place way out-of-town. But with a little backtracking, and stopping only once for directions, we found it.
