Day o' Fun

We decided to head up to Estes Park for a fun surprise :) We went trampoline jumping, go karting, ate some yummy food, then went on the tram to the top of the mountain and fed some chipmunks :)

Gracie was her brave little self and was all for it right away and wanted to go as high as possible - no worries for this girl!

Bradley was his cautious little self :) and was very worried, he was going about half as high as Gracie and you should have heard his screams :) I think he thought he was 100 ft off the ground :) Sweet boy :)

And Sammie was just as carefree as her older sister, that little tiny body was flying so high and she was just loving it!

Checkin' out the amazing view!

It took a while but we finally got some chipmunks to come eat some peanuts out of our hands - the kids loved it!

Sammie tried for a little bit but she was just too excited and moving too much so they never got too close to her, she gave up and decided to eat her own peanuts :)

Time Capsule

Ten years ago a bunch of the family put stuff in a time capsule and buried it out at Grandma's. This was the year to dig it up. I wasn't actually there when they buried it but Kevin and I both put in letters to each other. I predicted that we would have 4 kids which was pretty cool :) I just love going to Grandma's and I try to soak it all in and take a million pictures every time.

Grandma and Gracie discussing her new favorite best friend - the orange kitty :) She was asking the kitties name and Grandma said she didn't have one, so they came up with one together and named her Prairie :) Gracie just would not put her down the whole time we were there, and has talked about her many many times since we left :)

Good 'ol fun with sticks :)
