July 4th

We packed up LT, the two big dogs (in their seatbelt), two bikes, LT's bike trailer, golf clubs, a 40lb bag of dog food, food for us, a hiking backpack, clothes for everyone, some books for LT, and, of course, a few backhoes into one car and headed up to Silverthorne for the long 4th of July weekend. What are we going to do when AC comes?

LT had a busy social calendar that started off with a date on Friday morning with Joss at Starbucks. We'd talked about going hiking but it just didn't happen. LT didn't care, however, he rain around the little landscaped patio of Starbucks and insisted that he was in fact hiking. After his little "hike" he got down to the business of playing in the rocks and mud. Joss politely tried to show interest in his activities for a while.

However, she'd grown tired of his boyish activities by the time LT was moving around big rocks in an attempt to build something (I still don't know what). As we were leaving the coffee shop, Joss was quick to point out to everyone how muddy LT was and how clean she had stayed. The difference between boys and girls

After coffee we all headed over to the farmer's market in Dillon. "Famas maket" is one of LT's favorite new terms and he's more than happy to tell you all about getting "matos" and "go-ditas" at the market. And just about anything with a tent is now a farmer's market in his mind.

LT had an afternoon date with Riley and they went for a little hike. He was a good little gentleman and held Riley's hand while walking in the street but his attention went elsewhere when we came across a couple of big backhoes later on the walk.

Reading with Grandpa.

A second date that weekend with Joss. Throwing rocks into the lake was an activity they both could agree on. My parents supervised while Kari and I as well as Eric and Sarah enjoyed a moment free from chasing the little ones around.
