First Day of ALL DAY school

Is it Christmas already?? Emma started going to school ALL DAY this year. The bus pickes her up at home at 8:22am and droppes her off at 3:35pm. Emma loves riding the bus and going to school all day. She has 2 teachers now and cant stop talking about all her new friends, Robert, Charlie, Manuel... I havent heard her talk about any girls though. Maybe I might be in trouble.

The Royal Gorge

A thousand feet up in the air over the Arkansas River. The Royal Gorge Bridge is an awesome sight. It sure was windy up there.

Focus on the Family HQ & Elich Gardens

Some other fun places we went were The Focus on the Family HQ down in Colorado Springs. They have a cool play area for the kids, a Soda Shoppe set up as if you were in Whit's End (Adventure in Odyssey) and it was all interactive. We also went to Elich Gardens (formally Six Flags) I hadn't been on a roller coaster in a long time. I forgot the rush you get from riding those things!

The Coors Factory Tour

Drove down to up to Golden to go to the Coors Brewing Factory. It's a FREE tour that takes you all though the factory. At the end you fer 3 8oz samples. Pretty good deal to me! Emma got to make a penny ans use her "Big" muscles as she says.

Nana and Jaime came to visit this summer for 10 days. When they came Emma said it was like Christmas because they had so many bags and gifts. In one of the B=bags was this "Blue dress" I don't think Emma went 10 days before she didn't wear it for at least an hour. She says she has to wear it because it makes her a Princess. I'm sure the crown and "glass" slipper light up shoes help.

Arapahoe County Fair

This summer went by pretty fast. We decised to check out The County fair. It was pretty small compaired to the LA and OC fairs I'm used too but it was fun and Emma had a blast. For the life of us we could NOT convince Emma to go on any rides. When she saw the slide she was determined to go down it. I liked the licture so much of her sliding down with her daddy i entered it in a "Summer" photo contest on Shutterfly.com. Who knows if it will win?? Maybe? Who knows?
