2 years: Yesterday & Today

Some photos from yesterday & today:



Daddy & you at Scott Carpenter Park (one of your fave parks)



One of your favorite meals... mac & cheese & hot dogs



The teahouse in downtown Boulder



We went into a crepe place yesterday to find that they had half priced crepes...for $3 I got a crepe with banana, nutella & vanilla ice cream...it was delicious! You were saying hi to the ladies eating outside



Daddy got banana, strawberry & ice cream



Eat some little O!



We headed to Chautauqua later in the evening...it's so pretty here and so close to our apartment.


There are a million trails here but since it was late we just took you to the park there



You went down this slide a billion times



Pretty pretty



I keep taking photos of the creek, sorry



We took a trip on the Boulder Creek Path yesterday on our bikes and passed a new park for you...Fine Park. You loved it



Climbing all around



Here we are getting ready to go further east on the trail



We made it up to Boulder Canyon!





It wasn't easy and I could barely breathe but we did it





Today we went to the Boulder County Fair where you happily rode this train



Hi O!



You had to ride with Daddy because you were under 36"



You wanted to see the animals...so first we saw the bunnies



So cute!



Then the goats





You loved feeding them









Your favorite were the pigs...you said, "Pig! Pig!" when you saw them





Patting one of the piggies





Huge cows



Afterwards we came home and Daddy helped our neighbor move a couch into his apartment then we headed on our bikes to Pearl Street where you played around a bit





Then we got to see a Northern Arapaho dance and drumming performance. You loved it!



Here we are dancing in the round dance





Good times!

2 years: Bikes!

We got great used bikes and a used bike trailer yesterday. We took our first bike ride up through the Boulder Creek today!



Outside of our apartment...Daddy's bike on the left, Mommy's on the right



Hi O! You call the trailer your "bike"



We got the last available toddler bike helmet at the bike store yesterday...bumble bees!



Ready to go!

2 years: The Beach!

Little did we know that there's a beach in Boulder. It's actually the Boulder Reservoir but it looks just like a beach without all the seaweed. You loved it!



Running to the water





It was nice and warm





O splashing around















You wanted to go deeper in the water all alone



Then you fell



But Daddy got you up







Then you were right back in there



















On the way home from the beach we saw a sign for a yard sale so we stopped in



It was this crazy beautiful mansion







We ended up buying a $5 mirror and a $1 jewelry holder thing
