Colorado 2011

If we ever move, Colorado will be on top of my list of places to go!
(couple pictures are not in focus, because I used self timer :-))

While in Colorado, I went whitewater rafting. It was sooooo coool!!!! the water wasn't that cold (in low 60s) but with the combination of very warm air, it felt great to get sprayed. The water was category 3 and 4 which was just enough for me... here are couple pics.

Little Golfer

Ray signed up Amelia for golf camp. 1.5 hr a day for 5 days... I didn't think she would like it, but she did! there were 10 kids total, and only 2 girls! Good thing that she wasn't the only girl.

Water Fun 2011!!!

Here are couple of pictures from last couple of weeks of pool, beach and swim meets.

testing, testing

Garden updates

The nets seem to be working great. so far, no deer damage and this is something I was afraid the most. Since my last post, things grew a bit :-) The girls "visit" the crops frequently to make sure that things are growing like they are supposed to. Couple flower bulbs did not come in, which might be not that bad because I've planted a lot. Here are couple pics!

I've expended teh garden by 2 more boxes. there are 5 of them in total now.

Amelia makes her rounds...

tomatoes!

After inspection, Ray made a run!

The Garden

Since I can remember, we always had veggie and flower garden. And I always hated it. Why? Because my mom was always working in it and she would always make me weed it and help her with stuff. And now? I find myself starting my own... funny. Mine is A LOT smaller than hers (she always had some half an acre!). I promise not to make my kids do stuff there unless they want to.. and they want to! oh man. They bother more than help, but they have fun and that is all that matters. I can fix it when they play on the playground :-)) We are starting VERY SMALL because we have a HUGE deer problem in the area and I'm testing how the nets will hold up. If they do, I will buy some more and we will put up more boxes. There is room for at least 5 more. So far we've plated red cabbage, carrots, basil, leeks, cucumbers, tomatoes, beets and green beans. Still waiting on my flowers thou. I hope that they will arrive soon :-)) Here are some pics of the garden.

just the boxes...

ready to plant!
