The first picture is of Max and Kyla at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science. The picture was taken on July 31, 2009 in the Mineral & Gem section of the museum. It was the only picture I took at the museum that day. The other pictures were taken the next day at the Dinosaur Tracks on Alameda! We hiked up to the tracks with the Jaramillo’s and down the other side to get a view of Red Rocks Amphitheater.

On July 4, 2009 we drove our favorite trail in Colorado, Wheeler Lake. We then watched fireworks in Breckenridge that evening.

I realized on the trail that the battery to my camera was not going to last long, so my pictures were all landscape and animals. Before we start the trail we stop at the reservoir and sling rocks. This time there was a squirrel who was quite friendly. Brian fed the squirrel from his hand, which the kids got a kick out of.

When we got to the top of the trail, it started to rain and snow on us. We normally do some hiking up top, but not this day.

I did manage to get a few firework shots before my camera completely died!

Just doing a little updating from 2 years ago!!

Back in June of 2009 we went to Arapahoe Community College for the annual Fire Truck Parade and Muster! Kyla and Barrett really enjoyed seeing all the fire trucks and they were able to watch an Air Life helicopter land in the parking lot. They then demonstrated how patients are loaded onto the helicopter.

Kyla was able to take a ride in a soapbox car and practice using a fire extinguisher!

There were several old fire trucks on display!

But I think their favorite part was playing in the foam at the end!
