We’re maintaining a wild schedule this summer. The girls practice for swim team each morning (well, Monday – Thursday) and then have early morning meets on Saturdays. Early! I’m not a morning person so let me say again these are EARLY! We have to be at the pool for warm ups at 7 a.m. On a Saturday. I’m so glad these girls are devoted to swimming and practicing and have so much fun at the meets. I don’t even complain about the early hour….well, on here I may a bit but the morning of the meets we hop up and off we head to the pool without a whimper. 

Seriously how flippin’ cute are these sisters together…

After swim my little ladies had to join me for some work errands. I do appreciate the patience and company of my girls. We were in a new neck of the woods and found an Italian restaurant we had to try for lunch. 

Amici’s is no where near our house which is unfortunate because the food was delicious. 

Cavetelli — yum, yum, yum!

After lunch we took a little detour to Tiny Town. We visit every summer and I love comparing pictures of the girls year after year. My oh my have they grown. 

Annabelle was playing around with lipstick and gave her sister a big ol’ smooch on the cheek. They both thought it was hilarious. 

The weather was not very agreeable so we hopped right on the train. We knew the rain would be rolling in soon and we didn’t want to miss our chance to ride. 

This place is so quirky. It’s so unique and Colorado. I just love bringing the girls here. 

The train conductors are volunteers and they are quite quirky themselves. They always have cheesy jokes and little stories to share with the kids. Seems like a fun way to spend retirement. 

My little ladies who are not quite so little anymore and that is all the more evident in tiny town. 

At the Library

Such a poser

So very serious. The make up has to go. She’s looking like a teenager and I need to keep her a tween for just a bit longer. 

Every year they pose on this little house. There was actually time when they could fit all the way on that porch. 

The Seussical house

Cracking me up posing by the saloon. 

And then it started to rain. We were not quite done exploring so we decided it was the perfect excuse for an ice cream break. 

This girl loves her chocolate ice cream. 

The rain cleared and the place was all ours so we did a little more exploring. 

We found this cute little gem in the trees.

I love they still pose for my pictures and they can be so sweet about the things they probably think are silly but still make me so happy. 

It was a good, good day!
