Summer Days!

We've not been able to go outside too much because of the heat/humidity. BUT, we get out when we can!

Bath time after our walk!

4th of July Fireworks show. Kylie enjoyed it!!!

Playin' inside on a hot day!

Kylie & Daddy coloring...

Whatever Daddy does, Kylie wants to do too!

Kylie carried her chair to the radio and sat there looking at it like it was the tv! (Listening to music old-school style!) She loves music!

Our friend Kat was babysitting Kylie and took her to the park. Kylie has never liked the swings for me...but it looks like she's enjoying herself! :)

Kat said once Kylie was done "smelling" this flower she had pollen all over her mouth! :)

First somersault!

Kylie did her first somersault on her own in Colorado! I have a cute video of it, but I've not been able to get it to work...sorry family! I'll post a picture later. :)

Beautiful Colorado!

Kurt got home from Tanzania, and had to leave again to take some high school guys to camp in Colorado one day later. Well, Kylie and I didn't want to be left behind again...so, we went with them! We stopped on the way in Denver and stayed with Auntie Julie over night...but we didn't get any pictures with her! bummer! The next day we made it to camp just outside of Woodland Park...SOOOO BEAUTIFUL!

Daddy teaching Kylie how to throw rocks into the lake...

She was a big fan of that!

We went to the top of Pikes Peak...it was a wee bit chilly!

While Kurt was off with the guys doing camp stuff, Kylie & I had lots of time to hang out.

We got to see Daddy here and there. That was Kylie's favorite time of day!

We even got to go swimming with Daddy one time...so much fun!

Kylie liked to sit in the corner of the sand volleyball court and dig!

Smile...Daddy's Home!

The time finally arrived to go pick up Kurt and the Tanzania Team from Chicago airport.

So, Kylie and I loaded up in a 15 passenger van and began our trek!

She tried to stay awake the whole time, but just couldn't do it!

Of course after a short nap it was time to eat! :) MMMM...Veggi Straws!

We arrived at our hotel in time to go swimming and hang out. BUT, found out that our hotel did not have a pool! Our room didn't even have a bathtub! So, we played on the bed and looked out the window at our great view from the 9th floor!

Our friend Rachael lives in Chicago, so she met us at our hotel to hang out and stay the night.

We had a great time visiting!

We had to put Kylie behing the curtain so she would go to sleep. This is her the next morning. It must have worked...she looks rested! :)

Starting the day off right with some cheerios, strawberries and milk.

We said goodbye to Rachael...

and HELLO to Daddy!

It was sooooo good to see him again!

Loading up and heading home. Kylie didn't want to leave Daddy's sight! She was so excited to see we were all traveling in the same van! :)
