Summertime activities

The last weekend in June, we finally got to take the boat out to Horsetooth. Caleb loved it, wore his life jacket without a complaint and now refers to the wakeboard as a "yeah" since that's what you say when the riders get up, jump the wake or in Doug's case soar through the air and make a graceful landing. Rachel did very well for her first time in the boat, she actually slept through most of it. That evening we ventured to Greeley for the Stampede, we haven't been since Caleb was born and we thought it would be fun to check it out and let Caleb see some animals. We went into the petting farm, he was hesitant at petting the animals at first but then went around patting each animal a couple times and moving on to the next.


With Grandma Cindy in the boat, what a beautiful day



Watching wakeboarders out the back



The petting farm at the Greeley Stampede


Feeding some goats hay/straw that was already right in front of them



Petting the three little pigs, once they settled down, he was terrified of them when they were racing around the pen

Another goat to pat


A grizzley bear exhibit, we missed the show, but got to see them do a couple things

Looking through the telescope, I have no idea if he could actually see anything

A rarely captured moment of both children happy

Trying to get Rachel to smile for the camera, she does often, but my ability to capture it is somewhat lacking
