Flat Stanley meets Kristi Troy

I had a great time meeting Kristi and Troy, EA's cousin and her hubby! They live in Denver and took us to Rocky Mountain National Park for the day! EA and Kristi did a lot of catching up and we all really enjoyed getting to know Troy! We saw a ton of elk and other wildlife!

While we were in the park, we ran into the Dortches, who were also playing in the snow. We snapped a quick picture...

We ate pizza in Estes Park and then headed straight for....

the fudgery! Yum Yum!


What a great day! YAY for family! That's all from our Colorado trip. Hope you enjoyed!

Melissa the Mermaid

While at the beach with Kacki and Poopaw, EG and Jack enjoyed a trip to Ripley's! Thanks so much for entertaining our kiddos while it poured down rain for 3 days straight at the beach! Emma Grace loved the "Melissa the Mermaid" attraction. She loved it so much that we decided to make our own Mermaid costume. Here's our version of Melissa-

Jack is asking for a shark costume, so I think I'll be heading back to the store for some blue fabric tomorrow.

Teach a boy to fish.....

Please ignore the hair-d0, I have had a hard time this week. My friends carry me around in their pockets, put me in grocery bags and once the little girl put me in her mouth (that's why may hair looks so strange)

Teach a boy to fish and he will be "hooked" for life.
