Everyone had a great first week of school. It’s so nice to be back in routine!

The kids kept busy with melty beads this afternoon.

It’s hard to believe Andrew is starting 5th grade today! Time is just flying by! He was excited and nervous to start his first day. But he came home with a big smile and is glad to be back. He said it was great to see all his friends again and he really likes his teacher! Here’s to a healthy year!

Then we made one of his favorite for dinner which was chicken and waffles. The evening ended with family Wii bowling and an ice cream cake from Sweet Cow

We hiked in Hayden Park on Green Mountain which is very close to Denver. It was a steep and challenging climb but once at the top there were stunning views. A rain cloud moved in quickly which cut the hike short.
