Throwing Rocks

This is some video from our Left Hand Canyon day. Just a little footage of Isaiah in action.

Left Hand Canyon Adventure

It still amazes me after 4 years that 5 minutes from our house we can be in beauty like this. On Friday morning Ramin, Isaiah and I went on a family adventure into Left Hand Canyon. The day was beautiful and the sound of the rushing river was totally invigorating. So invigorating, in fact that Isaiah ran us up and down the trail next to the river for at least a mile and a half. Maybe he'll follow in his Daddy's footsteps :) When he wasn't running he was having a great time looking for his new obsession...pill bugs or "pillies" and he likes to call them (and himself). It was a great morning enjoying the absolute beauty of God's creation in the outdoors and in each other. 
The beautiful river
And the running begins...
Picking out the best rocks for throwing
The wind up...
And he throws!

Isaiah and Spiderman go to the Zoo


This past week we went to the Denver Zoo with Meggan and John. The boys had a blast rolling through the zoo in their cool safari jeep and I'll have to say that Meg and I enjoyed not having to chase them around. We kept looking at each other in surprise and saying, "this is actually relaxing!" They had a lot of fun saying hello to all of the animals and as it turns out we ended up being a main attraction that day as literally everyone we passed said, "Spiderman!" "Spiderman is at the zoo!" Hilarious. The fact that the Kid with the Bionic Blonde Fro was riding with Spiderman definitely didn't help with the attention factor either :) It was a great day with 2 really incredible boys.
