Father's Day

Happy Father's Day! We started this weekend with a quick one night camping trip to the Rampart Range to meet our friends Tim and Erin for a hike to the top of a fire lookout tower. This is the same hike we did, just about the same time last year, or was it two years ago, can't remember, but I do remember that I blogged about it. Anyways, we met Tim and Erin Friday night and set up camp, roasted some marshmallows and Annie and I shared one of her newest favorite drink "soda pop." She had just enough to make her want to stay up until 11:30, then of course she woke up early early, and didn't have a nap on Saturday, so needless to say, the drive home on Saturday morning and the rest of the day was pretty fun (not!). Today we woke up and I reminded Annie that it was Father's Day. Since she had already given him his Father's Day present, (a "water" coosie she decorated for him at school) I asked if she wanted to make a special breakfast for him to celebrate. She replied that no, he can make his own breakfast himself. After breakfast we headed to the Cherry Creek Res. beach. I really wanted to make a cool sand castle, but each time I got anything good done Annie came and stomped it down. I even made a decoy castle but that didn't keep her busy enough to keep her away from the real one until it was done. Oh well! It was also Olivia's fist trip to the beach. She slept under the umbrella most of the time we were there, and when she woke up we played in the water and buried her feet in the sand. She came home covered in sand thanks to Annie the castle destroyer...This afternoon we all (except Tim) took long naps to make up for Friday night. Not sure what Tim did while all the girls were asleep, hopefully something fun!
