Before the warm weather is gone for the year we decided to have a backyard camp out, complete with tent, campfire & s'mores. Sarah & Piper joined us for a night of outside fun. 
Avery loves the tent!
Jordyn & her BFF Piper, discuss the flavor profile of marshmallow

Getting tired, not so sure she really wants to sleep in the tent though - after much back patting she finally dozed off around 10pm

Avery's hair has been hanging in her eyes lately so I took my brilliant friend Sarah's advice and put it in a pin curl - here is the adorable result.
We took a trip to Rocky Mountain National Park and drove over Trail Ridge Road to Grand Lake here are the girls wading in the chilly water.
Here we are on top of Trail Ridge Road
We stopped for a picnic lunch and I tried to get a decent shot of the 2 of them - this one's not half bad
And as usual, Avery clowning around with food all over her face. . .
Just the 4 of us. 
Uncle Ian & Aunt Mercedes Camryn & Conner
Pako with his grandkids!
Camryn
We took a vacation to spend a few days on the west slope with our cousins Camryn & Conner and to say good-bye to Pako (our grandpa) before he moves to Alaska.
Jordyn had so much fun with her cousin Camryn - she wanted to do everything Camryn did.
We went up on the Grand Mesa for the day, by a lake and while Daddy did some fishing Jordyn picked some wild flowers.

this is the face Jordyn likes to make every time I tell her to say "cheese". 
and again . . .
2 cuties fresh out of the tub
Avery looking so sweet in her super cute 'Hip Violet' birdie shirt.
Jordyn had her first pedicure, which she thought was just about the best ting ever. We did mine too - here we are modeling our gorgeous tootsies.
She has also gotten big enough to climb on top of the play structure. What happened to my little baby - how did she become a kid so fast. She seriously climbs like a monkey.
Both of the girls spent the morning opening all of the cabinets in the kitchen then closing them again. What fun - that's Jordyn peaking out from behind the cupboard just to the right of Avery. Thankfully no fingers were slammed in drawers.
Avery loves the new sandbox and she only really tried to eat the sand once.
Here are the 11 jars of green beans I pickled a few weeks ago - can't wait to eat them they are sooooo good.
