Labor Day

We enjoyed a special outing to North Shore Park on Lake Loveland for Labor Day. It's the best we could do for a beach here in Colorado. The view was not quite as spectacular as the beaches around Ketchikan, but the sand was nice. The city has a lifeguard on duty all summer and a couple of weekends after the schools start. This was the last official swim day of the year.

Can you tell where the mommy hung out most of the time? She had some great company. He thought fingers were the order of the day.


David & Aimee - five years of sweet marriage on August 21st. My how time flies when you're having kids! Wait- did I say kids? I meant to say, "...when you're having fun!" But we all know that kids can be lots of fun. :-)
A real, live merry-go-round! We thought these things had been driven to extinction by safety-frenzied lawsuits, so we were happy to find this one at the playground.
Yee-haw! We have a cowgirl in our midst.
Remember those great diggers at the playground when we big people were little? This park had two of them- one for each child, of course! Amelie and Silas could have played on these all day long.

What a beautiful day we had. Silas states, every couple of weeks, "Mom, I just really like the sun." We're glad he adjusted since he had indicated a dislike for it when we first moved from Ketchikan. Anyway, this was a really great park/beach, and we'll try to take advantage of it more often than just the last official swimming day next summer!

"This is the day that the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it." Proverbs 118:24
