Castlewood Canyon

As soon as school was out, we took Clementine and her cousin Dylan to hike at one of our favorite spots. Castlewood canyon is not as beautiful or dramatic as other trails in Colorado, but it is a great hiking place for kids. There is a cool stream with a sandy bottom and lots of birds swooping down from the canyon walls. It is a great close to home retreat that lifts the spirits and reminds one of the joy of being a kid in summer. We are looking forward to finding more great hiking spots in Grand Junction.

Clementine's Creation

Clementine loves birthday cakes. This is one she made all by herself. She was so proud that she had to sing and blow out the candles.

Travels

It has been a busy Spring and Summer. In May my mom and I went for two weeks to England and Italy. That ws followed by a quick trip that Michael and I took to Portland, OR for a friend's wedding. The first week of June Michael started a new job in Grand Junction, CO and Clementine and I left to spend the summer in Louisiana.
