The Fleeting Summer of 2010
Time flies when you're having fun! And, maybe, that is why I am sitting here at the end of July wondering how the summer went so fast, not to mention the last five years. With Keara and Easton starting school in August, I feel like we have to squeeze everything in and make everyday fun like I'm sending them off to a boarding school and won't see them for six months! So with trips to the zoo, the Childern's Museum, playtime at the park, bicycling trails, swim lessons that have them actually swimming, several evenings of tee-ball games, two trips to Colorado and lots of lazy afternoons at the MO Valley pool, I hope they remember all of our fun!
Boulder/ Eldorado Canyon State Park
In July, Allen headed to Colorado University in Boulder to begin year one of a three-year program in the Graduate School of Banking. He was there for two weeks, so Keara, Easton and I packed up and drove out to visit for a few days.
This is in Eldorado Canyon State Park near Boulder. We took a morning to explore a few trails.
This is in downtown Boulder, an entertainer who sets himself on fire and juggles knives at the same time! Easton was amazed and we had to keep reminding him that this was this man's special talent and probably (hopefully) not his!
Miss Sophisticate!
Getting ready to watch a movie by the pool!
The hotel we stayed at was between Boulder and Denver and it was wonderful. They had movies and popcorn by the pool, cookies and milk before bed every night, a morning with the chef creating an ice sculpture, and little backpacks filled with trinkets when you check-in. We will be there in July the next two years!!

Summer 2010
4th of JULY, 2010
We went back to Platte Center for the weekend and enjoyed the parade, kiddie games, tractor pull and the afternoon at the lake.
They figured out that waving gets more candy!
Easton in the tractor pull!
Keara in the tractor pull! She was very determined!

Keara won third place in the 5-year-old group, out of the four girls and five boys that participated!
...And, Easton could have cared less, he got enough junk at the kiddie games to dress up like a patriotic pirate!
We went to some family friends' lake for the afternoon to swim and eat.
And, went for a boat ride.
Keara got around six inches cut off of her hair in June.

At the beginning of the summer, Keara and Easton spent a week down in Clay Center "helping" Grandma & Grandpa. They also got some good times in with their cousins!
