Goodbye Summer :-(

Our last summer in Colorado is quietly coming to a close. It was a CRAZY one- but we had fun none the less. Here are some of our last adventures

Glow Stick lanterns - I love pinterest

Bowling with daddy

Alex made a new friend at the 'best park' ever. She was his wing man and now she is requested at every park excursion 

Climbing with dad at the 'best park' ever

Daddy left for Mississippi to go be a surgeon for a month- Alex fell asleep on the way to the airport. So this was their last goodbye :-(

Day 1 of daddy being gone.... His diaper got caught on Daniels car! Hehehe- he's crying and I run back inside to grab my camera. I'm such a horrible mother

We Tried it & We Liked it!

CAMPING!

Happy 28th Birthday to my wonderful husband! We celebrated a little early with his week off by going camping. It was the first time with Alex so I had no idea what to expect. He had a BLAST!! We all did! It was just beautiful and we had a great time!

Daniel's Birthday Cake :-) 

Just some incredible scenery of the wonderful state of Colorado 

Our campsite... Yes that is a road a hop skip and a jump away. We needed the biggest site they had because we had a party up there. And yes, that road led to our early departure. But we pretended we were in the wilderness

This little boy was SO excited to be camping. He was in constant motion the entire time

I don't know if you can see it or not, but Daniel got a little too close to the fire! He burnt his eyelashes and eyebrows whilst attempting to make said fire larger...  

Apparently Uncle Johns car is still more entertaining than a camp fire and marshmallows 

Ready for bed! Again, he was so excited to sleep in the tent

He woke up at the crack of dawn (thank you road) but still oh so very happy

Helping dad start the fire

I had to entertain him so he wouldn't 'help' daddy too much :-) 

I would also like to point out that the beanie Al is wearing was actually meant for Daniel. It fit Alex almost perfectly... haha! We got the big head Jacobs gene in this one

Feeding Uncle John his breakfast of course

The top of Mt. Evans one of the 52 mountains in Colorado that is over 14k feet tall. Daniel almost died because he decided to sprint to the very tip top. Silly mom forgot all of our jackets and we almost died on the road up because it was narrow and bumpy and just plain scary! BUT- we did it and we loved it. 

On the way down Mt. Evans we stopped at this gorgeous mountain lake. 

So glad I don't have to worry about Alex making pictures turn out weird. I know what face he's gunna pull every single time

Remember the early waking up? We left to go home at 4:00ish he fell asleep at 4:01ish! 

Happy Birthday my sweet love! Hope it was a good one. Can't wait to be there for the next 28 birthdays!
