Birthday Celebrations!

In late August we celebrated Arrabella and Chris's birthdays! We had a fun tea time themed party for Arrabella and celebrated Chris's birthday with a delicious dinner at the Flagstaff House restaurant which is always a treat!

It was so special and fun to have Pamma and Grandpa come celebrate the Leo's! 

Adventures in Colorado

We had a fun summer filled with many weekend warrior adventures all over Colorado! 

Hanging lake was worth the hike up the mountain! 

Canyon hikes. 

We love finding new alpine lakes to explore. 

Hiking in Breckenridge! 

Early morning kayaking on the Lake!  

Exploring little islands on lake Dillon.

Rocky Mountain National Park

We have been getting out and exploring the beautiful state of Colorado. We recently become members of the Rocky Mountain National Park and have been getting out as much as we can. It's amazing how much the park changes with the seasons. We love it and look forward to exploring and making lots of memories together in this park and the rest of the state. 

Want to build a snowman?

Arrabella power! 

Frozen lake girl! 

Bear Lake is amazing in the winter! This frozen waterfall was neat! I actually don't know if it really is a waterfall or just a whole lot of icicles, either way it was cool.  

Chasing waterfalls! Below William is standing on what normally would be rushing water from the waterfall. The hike was hard to this waterfall. I don't think we would do this again during the winter with little Bella. Come summer we will definitely be hiking this area more. If you go up close enough to the waterfall top you can see the rushing water under the frozen ice. 

Museum Girl!

Arabella's number one spot to go play and discover is the Denver Musuem of Nature and Science. The Musuem is only a few blocks away from our house and we recently became members. We go to the Musuem at least once a week, I am sure it will probably get old but for now we can't get enough! 

Arrabella loves dinosaurs!

We enjoy looking at all the beautiful butterfly's and moth's.

Crystal cave from Mexico! 

We learned that most of these dinosaur bones were discovered right here in Colorado. We never knew that Colorado at some point had a large population of dinosaurs. Pretty neat! 

Checking out the fossils. 

Arabella loves watching the paleontologist at work. He was working on a triceratops skull! 

The Musuem recently opened this new and very exciting Discovery Zone just for the little ones to enjoy! They do such a good job keeping it interesting. Arrabella being a water child immediately went to the "bubble table", that is what she calls it. It's messy and I need to make sure to bring a change of clothes. For the fist few times she didn't even play anywhere else, water lover! 

Checking out the bugs. 

Inspecting the animals. 

Lite Brite fun! 

Mermaid girl!

One day they had a guy walking around with this T-rex costume, Bella was unsure about it. 

High fives for the Polar Bear. 

Puppet time with the squirrel.
