Six Flags Waterpark

Another 1st for the Haddad kids...

We spent the day today at Elitch Garden's Water Kingdom. 

It was a blast and a half!

Don't let 'em fool ya. 

It was a whopping 96 degrees in Denver today!

This is NOT us...but we all went down the Family Raft Slide...yes, including the bravest little girl ever!

(Yes, Ms. Mismatched-Crocs picked 2 right feet this morning.)

Jake has conquered the midsized slides all by himself.

And both boys can ride the BIG, BIG slides (and rides in the amusement park) with mom or dad.

Happy Father's Day!

Nick worked most of today, so we are celebrating Father's Day on Thursday and Friday of this week. 

We did enjoy some cake that the kids made, even Tysen who is recovering well from Strep Throat.

Happy Father's Day, guys.

Strep Throat! :(

Here's Tye 2 days ago,

hiking, picnicking, climing poles, etc.

That very night, Tye came down with a crazy fever,

headache, stomach ache, rashy red throat and vomiting!

We took him to the Doctor and

the lab results came back today...

stinking Strep Throat. 

(Though, ever the great trooper, Tye's still smiling!)

Joss so far hasn't come down with it.

And "Jacob's Ladder" building, "Chinese Jump Roping" Jake, is still Strep free as far as we can tell.

RVing and Quadding

We just returned home from our trip. 

It was a wonderful week of fishing, quadding, hiking and more.

Weather was in the 70s but turned cold last night

with light snow this morning.   

Tye was the wound king. 

But as usual, he was tough as nails even going so far

 as to pull out his very 1st baby tooth!

Snack stop.

Then, a little fishing.

Hope you're enjoying your summer as much as we are!

Love to all.

Summer Fun

Unlike Arizona, not many inground pools exsist in Colorado...at least in the Rocky Mountains where we live.And we have to be especially creative since our beloved Green Colorado has a ban on outdoor water spickets as to reduce water waste for washing cars, watering lawns, plants and flowers, etc. 

So it took a lot of Haddad teamwork

(which thankfully, we happen to be great at)

to fill the tiny play pool.  

Water balloon fight!

With summer weather temperatures maxing out at 85 here, we're expecting a gorgeous few months.

Super Soaker war!

This week's plan: Camping Tuesday-Saturday.

Expect that picture update this weekend!

Water Rallies!

All I could say was... "Oh my gosh!"
I totally thought they were going to get stuck!
As you can surely imagine...the crazy boys LOVED it!
(Despite the water being snow melt at 13,ooo feet elevation!)
