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!)

Memorial Weekend 2010 (Thurs-Sat)

School's out!  It's Memorial Day weekend!  Our second Colorado summer is off with a bang...

Undies work as swim shorts, right?

Braving the brisk freezing water!

Having a ball!

The boys' summer passion!

The sharpest shooter of us all was JJ.

(40yard soda can=8/10 hits)

Now that's deep concentration! 

 Not a bad average for Tye either, 4/10 @ 40 yards.

Joss blindly hit the can once...then quit since

 "it's too much work to pull the trigger" and

"they should really make it much easier to shoot things",

she said.

Boys.

Hitting the trails.

Rallying the water.

A head-butt for...ummm...good luck? 

Better ask one of the boys.

Soaking wet.

Dry and dare I say, "stylish????"

(Yes, that is Bunny zipped into her coat.)

Drying out a bit.

On a picnic at H5's secret spot!

Dirty face.

Finally, a quick stop at the park on the way home today.

Both boys have conquered the monkey bars! WOW!

Attemping to keep up with 2 big bros...

...Success!
