2nd Annual Mountain Midwifery Mamas Tie Dye Party

We hosted the 2nd Annual MMM Tie Dye party at our house again.  It was loads of un and I got all sorts of new tie dye outfits out of it.  It's fun having all of our friends over and getting make art together!

This is my, Lyric, and Ezrah sitting on the swing.  Wish we knew how to make it go!

 We got some of the mama's all together for a picture (and Papa Tu!).  Such a fun day!

Summer Raft Float with Nonna and Papa Tu!

In August, we went for a float down the Upper Colorado with my grandparents.  We camped one night at the put-in and then stayed overnight out on the river.  My Nonna and Papa Tu are adventurous!  Here is my and Papi, happy to be on the river..

Nonna and I waited at the put-in whiel everyone got the raft ready.  She taught me how to throw rocks into the river.

It rained like crazy while we were floating, but I stayed dry!  After we got to camp, I went exploring with Papi.  Daisy came with us.

Finally - sunshine!  Dadddy and I danced on the picnic table we were so happy!

Two adventurers, rowing us downstream...

Mama let me play on the raft at the end of the day.  We pretended we were setting off down the Grand Canyon together.  We pinky-sweared that we would do this together one day.  I can't wait!

Lucky for Daddy, I am good at rowing.  I sometimes get a little tired, but then he lets me just hang out.

We hit some gnarly rapids - it was AWESOME!  (I didn't row these, but I will some day.)

Here's our family - Mama, Me, and Daddy.  We love being a river family!

Summer 2010 (After Europe!)

Summer back in Colorado was super fun!  Since both my parents get time off in the summer, we have lots of great play dates together.  Here we are at the Taste of Colorado, listening to the one and only Rock of Love!  We also had great food at Uncle Henri and Aunt Jenny's sausage stand.  This is what summer is all about!

For our friend Drew's birthday, we went to Splash - a fun local water park in Golden.  Daddy helped me get around all the big kids!

 Since I'm such a people watcher, it was a great wayt to spend some time.  Lots going on!

 I spent some days over at Kerry's house and learned to play hide and seek. No one could find me behind these curtains! Ha!

We spent plenty of days out by the pool.  This pool is the best part of our neighborhood - always open, clean, and hardly anyone there.  It's like my own little resort, and we get to walk down the nature trail and by the pond to get there.  Awesome!

Some friends came to visit.  This is Nicholas - he is one of daddy's best friends.  They have a good time hanging out together. OH, and I like hanging out with Nicholas too!

Some of our best days are just out in the backyard on the porch.  This year we had so many flowers blooming, a garden full of vegetables, and a new patio set to enjoy it all with.  I am trying to get used to these bigger bikes.  I know I can do it!

Apartment Living in Praha

In Prague we stayed in an apartment - a nice change from hotel living.  We spent more time going to the markets to buy food to cook.  Here's some of what we found.

Here was our awesome kitchen!

Every morning the people we rented from brought us a breakfast basket of pastries, cheese, meats, and coffee.

This was our living room - lots of room to play!

Watermelon helped with the heat!  Yummy!

More berries to choose from...endless juiciness in our mouths!

Here's a view from our apartment...so cool!

I Partied Like a Rock Star!

 Good thing I had a place to crash whenever!  I made good use of this sleeping gizmo...

  When I wasn't sleeping, I was on the run!  Daddy had his running flip flops on!

Sometimes I had one too many...

Daddy also made a soft bed. My favorite place to sleep really.

Sunglasses made everything even better - including my outfit!

 European sausage is my new favorite.

When there was nothing else to do, I danced.

PRAGUE WAS AWESOME!!!

Daddy Couldn't Get Enough Beer!

 One just wasn't enough!  It was hot afterall...

When beer wasn't available, he found some pretty ladies to visit with!

Praha - A Beautiful Dreamy City

Prague was a beautiful city - our favorite of the whole trip.  We stayed right in a city center and walked all over the place.  It was hot, but we had a wonderful time.  The architecture was stunning.

Here I am climbing a gazillion stairs to see the sites over Praha.

 

Here was the view of the castle from our apartment.  This was at twighlight on a zoom so hard to see, but really an awesome view from our balcony!

We did a lot of walking in this city - me in my hot pink stroller and mommy and daddy on foot.  There were bridges to cross, churches to see, and lots of people to look at!

These dark statues were all over the city, but mostly on the bridges.  They were huge and towered over us.

Even the buildings were covered in them!

The buildings had a lot of detail.  This was the big cathedral attached to the castle.

Here is the catle with the cathedral in the background.
