Summer cookout

This month has been so busy! It has been a lot of fun and has flown by. For some reason I feel like July is always the fullest month of the year. This summer we decided to get our little playgroup together with the daddies too and have a big cookout. We went up into the gorgeous Poudre Canyon to Gateway park. Besides the fact I got eaten alive by mosquitoes (ziff and the kids didn't get bit at all!) we had a great time!!! The kids had so much freedom to run and play and the parents even got to play a little.Towards the end we took all the kids down to the water. Some dipped their toes in, but most of them had fun throwing little rocks off the bridge and watching them splash into the water. The kids ran around and played till almost 8 pm and we still had a half hour drive home, but it was well worth staying up late for. I think we will definitely have to do it again.

Ziff was practicing his grilling skills. It took him a while to warm up, but I think he had fun.

All the kids were pretty excited and had a hard time eating, but we had lots of good food for everyone.

Lots of grass to run and play. Lilly loved her freedom and thought it so much fun to roll down the hill. She kept telling Ziff and I that we needed to roll too! She even got Ziff to chase her all around I think they were playing daddy monster.
