Enjoying the last days of summer

It's hard to believe that summer is officially over, I find myself wondering where the time has gone! We had a great summer spending weekends up in Keystone, finishing our pergola, and playing outside with the girls...

Here is Isabella pushing Sophia around on their dolly's stroller - notice it was not meant to hold a 20lb kid!
Where did Sophie go?
Some pictures of our finished pergola - we are thrilled with how great it looks, and we are out there enjoying the space every day that we are home!

The girls playing on the patio
We spent Labor Day weekend in Keystone with Mimi and Papa. We had lots of fun going on a picnic, bike rides to Keystone Lake and River Run Village, swimming in the pool, and taking our bikes up to the top of North Peak (well, technically the bikes were hooked on the back of the Jeep as we drove to the top but hey - it sounds good!) James and Papa also managed to paint most of the ceiling white - although it took one coat of primer plus 3 coats of paint....

Here is Papa driving through a creek on the way to a picnic spot - yes I almost had a heart attack when we followed them!
We are still following Papa on a crazy road - this time up to the top of North Peak. This is one steep ski run!


James and Papa getting ready to build our campfire - Lord knows the men like to build FIRES :)


Mimi helping the girls draw in the dirt with sticks
Our little princesses having fun playing in the dirt (and of course, since they are girlie girls - with the flowers!)


Isabella was being a little supermodel when we took this picture - she was posing and smiling - so cute!












And finally...the girls learned how to throw pinecones into the creek and they stayed there forever doing it! They were having a lot of fun...
