Fourth of July, 2011

Isn't this just the sweetest picture my mom took of Nora in the Vail village?

Mom and Dad arrived on a Thursday evening for a week long trip to thunderstorms. This didn't stop Nora from prancing around outside in the backpack Nanny brought for her-she loves that thing!

Friday morning we left for a few nights in Vail where Nora, no surprise, enjoyed the pool.



She also loved the gondola. 'My gondola,' well it didn't exactly come out gondola...but we got the picture.







She was willing to watch the horses, but wasn't interested in riding them. She is her mother's daughter after all.








Back in Westminster for the 4th of July, we had to visit the pool (twice that day) to stay cool.



Getting ready to watch the neighborhood parade.


Watching the parade. You see, nobody (except us) watches the parade because everyone in the neighborhood decorates bikes, scooters, wagons, unicycles and even motorized beer coolers to ride in the parade!



Following the parade, everyone gathers at the central park.
And who doesn't want a bomb pop?

Nora's big excitement (since she was sleeping for the fireworks) was stomping on snap-its.



A visit to the zoo toward the end of their visit.




Aside from playing with Nanny and Papa, we're just carrying on with summer activities. The pool is a common occurance.

Running in the sprinkler with neighbors is also fun!

And on rainy days/evenings, we're all still outside...guess who's behind the princess umbrella?
