updates...

Yet again, I've been a slacker. So here are some updates.

Here are Ayva and Cheyenne posing for the camera...

A couple weeks ago we were invited to the Jardine cousin camp and we had a blast. They did an awesome job putting it all together! We weren't able to attend all the days but we were there for the opening ceremonies and the next day too. Tara, Aubrey, Brianne and of course all the Jardine's were there. It was so fun to see everyone again!

They started it off with the ribbon cutting ceremony. How cute!

They were then presented with T-shirts and little magnifying glasses because we were going to the Butterfly Pavilion. The kids had a lot of fun.

There was only one part that I wasn't a fan of. If you look closely at Verlinda's right hand you'll see why. For those of you who know me pretty well, know that I have this huge fear of those things! I can't believe they held her, they named the thing Rosie.

They also had stations for the kids to touch some of the sea creatures. Ayva was a little scared to touch them but it looks like Jagger had no fear.

Janae and her crew minus the little one who is just adorable.

They also saw turtles.

Jacqui was taking a picture of the kids and a butterfly landed on her hand. You could be a hand model Jacqui!

They release new butterflies everyday.

Cheyenne liked the displays.

Here are most of the kids posing for us.

Cheyenne was worn out from all that fun.

day 2

So the next day was Pirate day and they started it off with Verlinda teaching them terms that pirates used and they got pirate hats.

Then played a game like "pin the tail on the donkey" but with pirate stuff. Ayva refused to have her eyes covered.

And here is Cheyenne playing in the toy room while the other kids were playing the game.

Jacqui decided to join in on the fun. Go Jacqui, I believe her treasure chest ended up on the wall.

Then they had a treasure hunt.

Ayva climbing the stairs to the other clue.

They found the treasure! It was so cute, they had necklaces, chocolate coins, big ballon, rings, etc.

Cheyenne trying out the necklace, mmmmm yummy!

Ayva and Cheyenne loved the big ballons.

For lunch, Jerianne made pizza boats complete with a pirate flag! So creative and yummy too!

Then we headed off for the Denver Aquarium. I've been wanting to take the girls there but never got a chance so this was perfect. It is an awesome aquarium! Here we are at one of the tanks, just in time for a good cleaning.

Here's a nice fishy face!

Aubrey was so great to push Cheyenne around while I took pictures of everything. Thanks Aubrey!

I finally let her out to get a closer look at the fishies.

This was the last tank and it was amazing, huge sharks.

Cheyenne liked them too!

Brogan and Ayva posing for a picture, I think Ayva's getting the hang of it. I've trained her well!

After the aquarium we headed to Long John Silver to continue the theme of Pirates Day! Unfortunately we had to end the fun here. And we came home to this...

This is our back yard at the end of the storm.

Thank you Jardine's for the awesome time!!!
