The Last Days of Summer

A friend and blogging buddy told me about all the fun things for kids at the Denver Art Museum thanks Cortney! So last week the girls and I took a trip downtown. We enjoyed the art and activities at the museum and then had a fun girl's lunch! Hope said that downtown Denver is "the nicest place". Hmm . . . :)
Popping "virtual bubbles" on the ground.
Popping those bubbles
EJ was not so sure about the bubbles
EJ making her own piece of art from blocks

Hope was determined to put the "Stone Puzzle" together
EJ would have helped - if she only could have lifted those big rocks!
Taking a break from all the heavy lifting
Mission Accomplished!
Lunch out on the town!
Also during the last week of summer . . .
We have a great public swimming pool in our little town called The Bay. We made it there for the first time this year on the last official day of summer. With our great little free neighborood pool, it's easy to just stay put when we want to go swimming. Plus, the Bay gets so crowded and the water is always freezing. Well, most of the schools around here had already started by last Friday, so there were not too many people available to go swimming! All the better for us! Despite the cold water, we ALL had a great time! I know there is a lack of evidence, but I was there, comfortably behind the camera. ;o)

Escaping the cold water!

Hope on the tube slide (Brandon is in back and blocked by the lifeguard) - I'm a great photographer!

The girls on the baby pool slide! EJ would cry everytime they made it to the bottom, but kept saying "again, again".
School has started, so I'll have a "First Day of School" post soon!

I'm glad you guys had fun at the art museum! And the Bay, I wish we'd have done the Bay this year, but I didn't want to sit in the hot sun with Scarlett.
