July 4th week

Kaden, Ellie, Halle , Ethan and Kristin are pictured here riding the carousel at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo.

In early July I stared to see some of the fruits of my labor.

Claire's first ride. I turned my head one moment and the next thing I know... Aunt Kristin has Claire and Halle riding the little Train at the Zoo. I think Claire liked it.

But what Claire loved- WATERMELON!!! This girl was coo coo for the good 'ol 4th of July favorite.

And boy can she make a mess!

Ellie helped me catch up on some strawberry picking.

And what better way to enjoy our harvest than to make some warm strawberry crisp over vanilla ice cream.
