Autumn

HAPPY AUTUMN! WE WISH YOU A GREAT SEASON.

Staycation

We had a good summer. Between Cesar's summer session and Fall semester we took a Staycation! We thought about going to Salt Lake for a vacation, but ultimately decided to just stay home and do things around Denver. We had a fun time and even spent the night at my parent's house one night when they were out of town.

We went to the Wildlife Experience in Parker. I had been there a long time ago and wasn't very impressed, but this time it was much improved. We also saw an Imax film while we were there. This was Eli's first movie in the theatre. He sat on my lap the whole time and liked the movie about the Corral Reef.

We ate lunch outside and walked around the nature walk. It was a good time.

We also went to Tiny Town in Morrison. Eli liked all the little houses, school, shops, churches, etc. We rode the train too. Eli got very scared when the trian whistled. He screamed! Finally he settled down and enjoyed the ride a little bit. Cesar and I liked the ride. (We took pictures with our other camera, and I'm not sure how to get them on the computer, maybe later.)

We ate out a few times which is always nice on vacation. We went to Rosie's for breakfast, and Sonic for dinner one night. We ate outside at Sonic and then played on the grass after we ate. Eli had a great time running under Cesar's legs. He just giggled and giggled. There was an older couple eating outside too and they thought Eli was so cute! After all that exercise we got ice cream cones!

We had a great Staycation and spent great quality time together as a family!

Eli's Third Haircut

Cesar cut Eli's hair Friday. Eli did very well while Cesar used the scissors and razor. Eli looked very concerned and a little scared, but he stayed pretty still. He was really bothered by the hair that fell on his arms or legs. (I hate that too). I guess we should have put a cape on him. There was so much hair on the floor after the cut. Eli had so much hair and so many curls, but now he looks like a much older boy. He is almost 2! Wow.

Water World

In July we went to Water World. My entire family (parents, siblings and their families) all went. It was a fun time!

We went on a couple of family water slides, spent time in the kid pool, and wave pool. Eli did a great job considering we stayed there all day! (10 a.m. -6 p.m.)
