MISSION 1: PARKS & REC
In the last 2 weeks, we made the rounds visiting some of our favorite parks: Black Forest Park, Charlotte's Web Park, Alice in Wonderland Park, Monument's Limbach Park, and Luke's school playground. Nothing beats kicking back on a blanket with the baby while watching the big boys laugh, run & play!
Grant LOVES to be outside!

Why stay on the blanket when you can crawl
off and get to that awesome green grass?!

Sharing good times with Dad
MISSION 2: TAKE A HIKE
We worked in one more hike, and Papa joined us for a trek on our favorite trail up Spruce Mountain.

Several times the question arose,
"But Mom, why can't we go past that sign?!"
MISSION 3: WILL PEDAL 4 PIZZA
One evening we biked a few miles over to one of our favorite pizza joints for dinner. With a family of 5, this involves the following: Dad on bike pulling Reid on tagalong bike, Mom on bike pulling Grant in bike trailer, and Luke on his own bike pedaling his little heart out. The ride was fun, and we're sure to do this again!
Pedaling for Pizza!
MISSION 4: BACKYARD TRAMPOLINE CAMPOUT
You don't need a tent or RV for camping ... when you have a trampoline! Mom, Luke & Reid rounded up some pillows, blankets, jackets & sweat pants and made ourselves right at home for a night beneath the stars camping on the trampoline. (Dad & Grant stayed nice & cozy inside for the night.) We used a phone app to find the constellations and talked about our favorite memories of this summer. Within about 15 minutes, the boys drifted off to sleep with Reid snoring and the neighborhood dogs barking as the only sounds to be heard. The temps dipped down to about 58 degrees that night, and we awoke to a foggy morning. We all had a blast, and the boys are requesting another trampoline campout soon! Easy enough ... the amenities are top-notch!
Ready for trampoline camping!
Zzzzzzzzzz...
