Hello everyone, time for another quick update.  We took a family vacation out to Colorado at the beginning of August.  We stayed with our friends Sol, Erin, and baby Josie!!  We drove up to Estes park for some racing fun.

Next up we hit the golf course.

 Brynn's favorite part of the day was the big slide.

I liked the bumper cars, I think I gave Daddy whiplash!!

Sol and Daddy spent the night camping in Estes park but I went back to Sol and Erin's house with Mommy, Erin, Brynn, and Josie.  We had pizza and played with the dogs.

The next day we took a trip down to Littleton to see Great Uncle Kipp, Great Aunt Glenda, Great Uncle John, Great Aunt Cheryl, and cousins Clare, Taylor, Jayden, and Kaley.  We loved playing with all of our cousins.  Kipp made great fish tacos and we just played outside until it got dark and then we all piled on the couch to watch the Olympics.

The next day we met Josh, Angie, and Cash at the Denver Zoo.

Brynn and Cash had a little chat with a big gorilla.

We took a train ride through the zoo.

Then we took a ride on the carousel.

One of my favorite things at the zoo was the huge sleeping bats.

On our last day in Colorado we went to the butterfly pavilion.  We saw a lot of really neat butterflies, but my favorite are the blue ones.

Mommy held Rosie the tarantula but Daddy said no thanks!!

They had other neat stuff too like this starfish Brynn is petting.

Brynn and I tried to be spiders and climb in this web.

August 13th was the meet & greet for my kindergarten class.  I took all of my supplies in, met my teacher, and got to pick out my seat.  I started school on August 16th.

The next Friday night my friend Kenley spent the night at our house.  We got up the next morning and went to the Farmer's Market in downtown Cedar Rapids.  Kenley and I got our faces painted.

Then on Sunday we went to the Iowa State Fair.  We had fun riding the carousel, train, roller coaster, and ferris wheel.

I also had fun learning about farming and growing food.

At the end of the day Mommy and Daddy let us get a little something to take home.  Brynn picked out a Dora blow up and I picked out a Spongebob.

That's all for now.  I have a busy few weeks coming up with a bronchoscopy, the QC airshow, and Grandma Kris' B-day coming up.  Take care everyone.
