Visit with the Closes

We were planning a fun 4th of July trip to Los Alamos, NM, to visit with Becky, Devin, Logan and Laila, but their town was evacuated due to forest fires.  So, they came up to Colorado Springs for a little visit instead  As is often the case when five kids are together, it was hard to take pictures, but we did get a few cute shots during our outing to North Cheyenne Canyon.  All the kids had a wonderful time playing in the stream...even Josh and Devin had a blast (they spent about 30 minutes trying to catch a fish with their hands).  Wyatt and Laila thought that splashing in the shallow pools was the best time ever!

 Molly liked exploring the stream with Josh.

 Owen especially loved crawling up and down the stream on the rocks.

Wyatt was so exhausted from all the fun that he fell asleep on the middle of the living room floor soon after the Close family left.

 Molly was too busy learning about one of life's greatest pleasures to be tired....her first time in the laundry basket!
