Summer time fun

Pretty mellow Fourth of July. We hiked down to South Boulder Creek from Walker Ranch. So hot, but Paloma hiked the entire way down and about a quarter mile back up. Creek was running high but it was so nice and shady and cool down there. 

We returned home, cooked some burgers and corn, ran in the sprinkler and then set off the tiniest of fireworks with Oliver, Inez and Shawn. 

When this kid is having fun, she's having so much fun!

Father's Day 2013

Picking strawberries with my girls after a long week. Hoot & Hollow Farm on Jay Road. Paloma wasn't much interested in the picking after a few, but she loved seeing the chickens.

We brought home 10 lbs or so of strawberries?

Dance party this morning. I asked Paloma what kind of music she wanted - "rock'n'roll!" We settled eventually on Macklemore and she ran into the bathroom where Zoey was finishing showering - "we're having a dance party but not with rock'n'roll, with Macklemore".

John and Laura coming over for mediterranean hanger steak, Mexican corn on the cob, salad from the garden...

Mt. Princeton Camping, June 2013

We spent my birthday camping at Mt Princeton campground near the Mt. Princeton Hot Springs. Tough camping trip. Paloma sick, sleep hard to come by, wasn't one of our better displays of parenting, we are still trying to figure out the camping thing, but overall we at least left in good enough spirits to give it a go again sometime.
