Cheyenne Mountain Zoo Sept. 2008

A Trip to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo.......... (Disregard the date on the pictures, I forgot to reset the date after charging the battery.)

Cousin Lauren and Aunt Teresa came to visit from Pheonix to Colorado in September. We drove down to Colorado Springs to hang out with Grandma Ann and Teresa and Lauren at the Zoo.

Ayden loves the Giraffes.

We had a great time and can't wait to see Cousin Lauren again.

Last Day in Neighborhood Pool

Our neighborhood has a community pool but we avoided it most of the summer. The real reason for the avoidance was because we lost the card key to get in and did not want to pay for another. But there were many other obstacles keeping us from the pool. WORK!!!!! Also that it is hard for 1 parent to go alone with 2 little boys who cannot swim...yet!!! On Labor Day weekend, Kerry and I decided to go with the new neighbors, who also have kids Ayden's age.

The last time Ayden swam was at Aunt Teresa house around Father's Day, so it had been awhile. I was so impressed with Ayden today. He decided to only wear the arm floaties instead of the yellow swim device that you will see Jackson wearing. Ayden was SO BRAVE!!! He started jumping off the edge of the pool into my arms. Jackson just floated next to me in his safety device. Not only was Ayden jumping in but soon enough he did not need mom to catch him anymore. He was jumping in with his friends and going under the water, then popping up and swimming. It was awesome.

Hope your summer was just as FUN!!!
