Library and Slime Day

We hit up the Castle Pine's library in the morning. This library is smaller than the one in Castle Rock, but they have a few different kid area activities that the kids like to do such as dress up, wood blocks and the lights on the wall that change colors when you turn them.

In the afternoon, we drove to 4 different stores collecting our ingredients for slime. Amazing how much better the kids behaved when they had a true interest for what was on our list vs. the typical grocery list. Walmart-To-Go has saved me this Summer from dragging kids to the store against their will (and mine).

It was a fun day with the kids.

Steamboat Springs

Bryan took the kids by himself to Steamboat Springs with some of our other friends. I had a last minute work gig pop up and they offered to compensate me nicely for the last minute request...enough so that we decided I would take it and Bryan would fly solo. The reports sounded like they had a blast exploring, hiking, swimming, playing with friends and chowing down on pizza. I was glad to have so many other "sister-wives" to help keep an eye on my kids.

Castle Rock Mountain

The kids wanted to hike "Castle Rock Mountain" one morning.  We invited the Cramers to join us. It was a beautiful morning! I did end up carrying Myles for some portions, but I didn't use a baby carrier or kid backpack...first time in 7+ years of hiking with the kids.

Charlie is quite the lizard catcher and he snagged this guy. These boys were beyond thrilled. Sadly (for them), their excitement only lasted a minute or two before he escaped back into the wild.

The sadness setting in that their lizard will not be returning.

Where did my toddler go???
