Denver- Spring Break

While in Denver, we hung out, ate lots of Easter candy, played with our new toys, and went to the park on the warmer days. We also had some friends from when we lived in San Diego (who now live in Denver) over for dinner on Sunday. Their daughter Ava and Brooklyn hit it off right away and the 2 girls played together Sunday night and then again on Monday and Tuesday. Brooklyn was in heaven to have a friend to play with (rather than just Dad and I) and asked each morning when her new best friend was coming over!! The girls got along really well and enjoyed being silly with each other, sneaking down to the basement to eat lots of candy in their clubhouse they made and getting into things that they shouldn't :)


Lola and Brooklyn at the park

I LOVE this pic of Brooklyn on the slide. She is getting to be the sweetest 7 year old ever not to mention she is already the greatest big sister to Lola! She has a super fun and outgoing personality and a GREAT sense of humor- she's always making us laugh. She is growing up so fast and while its fun to watch her change over the years it makes me sad and a little nervous to think that these cute, fun and silly days may be less frequent when the pre-teen days come around :)

It was really windy at the park this day and every time Lola attempted a smile, a gust of wind would get her in the face. Haha!

Brooklyn's self snapshot :)

Brooklyn 'enjoying' the car ride home to Utah. She was pretty good considering how long of a drive it was (about 7 1/2 hours) but we brought the portable DVD player and made sure to do the majority of the driving during the night so both of the girls would sleep! Those of you with little kids probably do the same because its insanity not to!!

So cute! I am glad we got to hang out and happy that Ava was able to keep Brooks occupied for you guys! ;)

Oops, didn't know they got into things! Silly kids... hopefully they didn't ruin anything!
