Denver Area Scout Show

Last Saturday we went down to the Scout Show. There were soooo many people there, it was a little overwhelming, but the boys had a good time exploring the booths. Each Boy Scout pack in the Denver area had a booth with an activity, and Isaac helped at his pack's booth.

Digging for rocks.

Spencer learning about CPR.

One pack was teaching kids how to build lean-to shelters and after the lesson, the kids got cotton candy. It was a popular booth.

This was a booth that had air powered(bicycle pumps) rockets(empty water bottles). They were a lot of fun.

Ever since we had our addition put on, the boys have especially loved skid loaders and they got to sit in one while we were there. The poor guy who was supervising the machinery had to listen to every single kid try out the horn on that thing.

Notice the cowboys peeking in the back window? It was a mural on the wall, but the placement cracks me up.

A New Path on a Beautiful Day

Goodbye Aunt Whitney!

We brought Aunt Whitney to the airport this afternoon. We had a lot of fun with her!

Just in case you didn't see...

I think probably most of you saw photos on Facebook, but I can't pass up the opportunity to show off my new nephew again. Brad and Valerie welcomed Ian Bradley on 3.15.10. I got to make a solo trip to IL to meet him and take photos the following weekend. He is such a sweet baby and I loved getting to cuddle with him while he was still so fresh.

More pictures from March

I just saw these saved on my computer to blog. A couple weeks before my quick trip to IL, we went for a walk on a path up in Lafayette that we like. The boys had a lot of fun with tumbleweeds.

When we first met the Cables when we lived in IL, Luke would say how all the trees in IL made him feel a bit claustrophobic and I never really understood that. But I do now, you get used to wide open spaces.

All that blue sky and open space makes my heart happy.

Butterfly Pavillion

We went to the Butterfly Pavilion this morning. I hadn't been in quite awhile and forgot how neat it was. I instantly regretted taking the point & shoot instead of my own camera, when will I ever learn?!

Breakfast!

We all took turns holding Rosie the tarantula, except for Whitney who said, "EWWW!"

Goodies in the gift shop.

Zoo

I didn't do so well taking pics at the zoo when we went on Tuesday afternoon. It was our first 80 degree day of the year and we were there with half of the metro population. I took a few pics while the boys were playing the African drums.
