Nature Club Hike

Our neighbors created the Nature's Explorer's Club for the kids to go on short hikes. We missed the first 2 due to a swim class and the other on a work day. Sydney & I were able to go today which was at McClintock Nature Trail at Chautauqua. There was Emerson (almost 4), Jack (3) and Sydney (2). They all had a blast.

I thought Sydney would want me to carry her, however when we got to the trail head, she took off by herself!

"Wow - that's a big rock!"

There was a class at this spot talking about the patch of poison ivy. We all learned something today. And we stayed far away from it!

I figured Sydney would be tired after the hike, however she did not want to take a nap. That made for a grumpy Sydney about 4:00 :-). We walked outside and right when we came inside, she went to the couch and put her head down. Not 2 minutes later she was asleep!

Another Day at Monkey Bizness

Sydney's new bows

Sydney loves to climb the rock wall.

Look - I really was there :-)

She actually kept trying to get on the swing by herself

And of course, she loves her crafts.

"Weeeeeee!"

We actually forgot Sydney's socks today (required) so we had to borrow a pair from MB. They were a tad too big.

Father's Day

Happy Father's Day!

Brian, Sydney and I went to Chautauqua for a hike. It was a beautiful day for a hike!

We then had brunch at the Chautauqua Dining Hall.

FORE!

Off to the park. While we were there, we all rode on a paddle boat and Sydney did great!

Busy Busy Busy

Some fun shots of Sydney kicking her ball in the yard. NOOOO that is not snow - that is just way too much cottonwood!

Time to admire the flowers.

Isn't this a yoga pose?

Well, Friday was Mommy-Sydney day. We had a very busy day. We started off at the gym and then off to visit Carrie and Jossie in Golden. That was fun to catch up with an old friend. Sydney attempted nap time with no success. So off to the pool we went. We swam until 5:00 - oops should have been home preparing dinner ;-). She finally passed out on the way home. We let her sleep for about 30 minutes so that she would go to bed that night.

Saturday was another busy day. It started off with going to the gym before Sydney's swim class at 10. Afterwards, we decided to stick around and swim until noon. Sydney got to each lunch at the pool - hot dog and almost a whole orange. She worked up an appetite! Having the YMCA pool open now reminds me of my pool days at the Irondale Swim and Tennis Club. Memories!!! Sydney slept for 2 hours today - I am beginning to love pool time :-). We chilled at the house after her nap. I was sitting in chair sideways with my feet hanging over the side and Sydney asked me to get down and then sat in there like me. Then she acted like she was reading my book. My little bookworm. Love it!

Notice that the book is upside down.

As we were playing outside, Sydney asked her Daddy to sit down so she could put a pony in his hair. She moved onto mine next. Then it was off to take a quick walk around the block.

Sydney is now asleep. Phew - We are tired!

Next up.......
