Tunnel





















Ryan built the girls a tunnel out of two cardboard boxes. They spent the mid-morning designing and decorating with stickers and markers. Even the dogs took a turn in and out!

Bike Ride to Harvard Gulch Play Ground













Before the summer heat set in, we headed out for a bike ride through DU campus and over to Harvard Gultch Rec Center. They have an outdoor pool but it was packed for a swim meet. We ended up playing at the play ground instead.

Ka-BLOOM













The roses in the backyard are starting to bloom.

Swimming with Daddy!





















We had to show Ryan the cool pool at Montclair! The girls also got to try out their new swim suits from Grandma and Grandpa - they worked great!

Splish Splash







Jumping for JOY!













Go up the stairs and down the slide, Liv...









there we go!









































After naps we headed to the Montclair Rec Center to check out their kiddie pool. Our friend Heather has been telling us how cool it is - and she was right! The girls were hesitant at first, but quickly tried out the swan slide, bridge and fountains. We will be back tomorrow!

Happy Father's Day!



To all the Dads out there, Thanks for everything you do! To Emma and Olivia's Dad, words cannot describe how much we love and appreciate you - so we will express it with dessert. Love you!

Hang Ten



I think we have a surfer chick here ...



and a fan : )





Ryan scored a surf board at Goodwill to decorate our palm tree-themed guest bedroom. Before we mount, the girls got to catch a wave. Hang loose, brah!

Hammock Time







Sisters enjoying a snuggle in the backyard hammock. Say it with me "Awwwwwwwwwwww".

Armed with dollar section squirt guns, Ryan and the girls took over spraying everything they could in the backyard.
