Manitou springs

Mantiou springs is a neat place, they have all these natural springs that they pipe in from the river and you can drink the water, it tastes different, some like it some don't, taste to me like baking soda in the water, LOL but really neat, had to take pictures of most of the ones I saw, I don't remember all of their names, but were neat.

Had to get a picture of Amanda next to the Navajo springs for obvious reasons, LOL.


Aunt amanda gave in and let the kids ride the merry go round.



This bike was so cool, had a long seat al the kids could fit on, was high off the ground was a little worried about Zach face planting it, LOL.



Another springs, forget what the name is.



Cute little chicks.




Grandma Halliday with Gali and Alycia.

Another spring, think it is Soda Springs.

Whiles Ed's brother and family were here we toured the pioneer museum, there was some really cool things, the elevator was neat as you actually got to ride in it. The dotors and dentists back then those tools and such were scarty adn all the medicines they would give you, yikes I am greatful for modern medicine. Was a really neat place to visit.

Josh was ordained a deacon

Josh was ordained a deacon into our church on August 9, 2009. His Grandma Halliday, Uncle Bruce, Aunt Amanda and cousin Gali came to be with him. So pleased with Josh and his decission, he is so excited to pass the sacrament. Alycia was so excited to have a GIRL to play with she loves her cousin.









Garden of the gods

We love going to Garden of the Gods and hiking, Ed's brother and family came to visit along with Ed's mom, we went to Garden of the God's, so pretty. We have been there before but this is the first time we have seen people climbing the rocks, so neat.



























Chicago cubs game

For Josh's birthday he got Cubs tickets, he is a MAJOR Chicago cubs fan, his room is even decorated in it. Ed and Josh went to Denver to the game, he had a great time first time he has seen them play, sad that they lost, but had a good time with Ed, and enjoy going to Fuddruckers for dinner.

trip to santa's workshop


Ed's mom, brother, SIL and niece came to visit us, we had a great time. One of the days we went to Santa's workshop, it a small amusement park that is all Christmas. Alycia had a half day that day, we wanted Alycia to be able to go so we took Zach and Alycia while the big boys were at school. We had a great time. They loved the big candy cane slide, and all the other rides. Zach didn't want to see Santa so I got a picture of Ed with Zach next to Santa, lol.


























a day of fishing


Every year before school starts we take a camping trip, well this year the camping part got cancelled as Ed had a funeral to be at, so instead we just went fishing. The kids loved it, we didn't catch anything, but the kids loved to climb the rocks and loved casting the line. We had a nice time, and what a pretty lake.
