Late Summer Bliss

Beautiful September evening in the park! We weren't really prepared to play in fountains so Charlie just got all his clothes soaked. He was carried back to the car naked, dripping, and all wrapped up in Dennis' over shirt.

20 months is F U N !!!

Just a quick post with some new videos and photos.

Charlie with his new friend Tayden (the son of one of Dennis' closest childhood friends)

Some photos from Chautauqua Park, Boulder. ... we had some time to kill before meeting a friend so what better way to spend it than hanging out at Chautauqua

Fianlly, the rest of the Santa Fe album

Karen taking Charlie for a quick dip in the hot tub - didn't last too long...

Outside a very Santa Fe type shop... Karen and Charlie (in stroller) are just to the right of the building.

Exploring some new hidden spots at the El Rey Inn

Shopping.... do you like the shoes?

Big Head Charlie... checking out the plaza

A True Irishman

Dance, dance, dance, sip beverage, dance, sip beverage, fall down.....


I will try to remember in the future to only video horizontally... sorry.

Santa Fe.. part two... Sandwich Mayhem

Okay so maybe I'm evil to give my kid something that he will clearly struggle with but heck.... do you blame me - the photos are funny!
For our first meal 'out' in Santa Fe we chose the little crepe place near the Plaza and had amazing grilled cheese with tomatoes and olives... oh, and crepes for dessert.

Sorry about the red eyes but if I didn't post until I had photoshopped them you wouldn't see them for months. Oh, and soak up the funny hair photos now because I chopped most of it off yesterday (don't worry - he is still the cutest kid in Centennial).

Santa Fe Fun! ...part one of three

Believe it or not we finally have video! Okay, so it was taken with my phone and is really sketchy but still... it is video.

These shots are all from a wonderful playground near 'downtown' Santa Fe. I hesitate to call it a playground because it was 1/3 playground, 1/3 art installation, and 1/3 landscape design but regardless, it was FUN! Charlie especially loved this little twirly bucket seat. I am very sorry to say that I didn't get a video of him after getting out of the seat (crazy dizzy = crazy funny)

Swimming lessons

Swimming lessons pictures.

Additional commentary coming soon...but we think the pictures tell the story pretty well.

BEWARE the WATER MONSTER! ARRRRRRRG!
