The Summer List

Here in Colorado, school is out, pools are open and the sunscreen is being applied. That means one thing. Summer!

Last year was our first summer in Colorado. I was good, but hard. I was new to the area and we were adjusting to Cory's travel schedule. This year, Cory and I wanted to make the most of summer as a family. So in order to be intentional we made a summer list. I have seen many bloggers, like Meg,  do this and have loved the idea.

So here is our list. Some things are already in the work, and some things may get dropped because of money or time, but this is our general game plan.



It will be awesome to visualize at the end of summer what we have done. Don't worry, I'll keep you updated as we go along. Now go make one, you won't regret it!

Mount Falcon with Auntie Rie!

Ok, I'm still catching up on blogging. What's new?

When my sister, Rieley came to visit us in March, we made a trip to Mount Falcon, as recommended to us from a friend, Ali. Thanks for the recommendation.

We loved it for these following reasons:
1. Beautiful views
2. An easy trail for Chloe to walk (a must for a toddler)
3. It was free (except for the gas to get there, but still worth it!)
4. Big enough so next time we go, we can take a different trail and experience something new

I love this photo of our shadows. I also love that you can make out Chloe's two little buns. :) Chloe has learned to stomp on our shadows. It's a little trick we use to keep her moving at a little faster pace.



At the end of our hike/walk we found some picnic tables to eat dinner. Of course my phone died before this so, I will have to get them from Cory and then post some.

I can't wait to go again...maybe this weekend? Huh, Cory?
