One Week of Summer

We got to go down to Arizona to hang out with both of our families at the very beginning of July. Scott & I went swimming everyday and got nice tans. (Too bad I'm already losing it). Meli was the only cool weenie dog to go swimming with us. It was so much fun meeting Phoebe (our new little niece) and playing with Annalee. Phoebe has the funniest growl and I now know what Blair means when she growls! Cutest thing ever. We had the best spot to watch fireworks for the 4th of July. Scott also played racquetball with his brothers & my family most of the time. He got his workout while we were there! It was so much fun hangin out with both of our families. I wish we could've stayed longer. And Scott & I already agree that we miss the heat! Anyways, I forgot my charger for my camera, so it died pretty quickly. But here are a few pictures that I got on the trip.

This is a video of some of the fireworks. I posted this for Annalee because she looooved the fireworks and kept talking about them for the rest of the week.

 This is such a cute video of Annalee trying to play racquetball.

These were the last pictures that I got. I loved Zuka's face when Scott throws the ball to them. She gets so intense.

Ouray, Colorado

For the 4th of July, Scott & I went to Ouray, Colorado to stay with his aunt & uncle at their place. We spent time with in-laws, cousins, and friends and just had a grand time! I had never been to Colorado before and if no one has, it is absolutely gorgeous! I loved every minute there and can't wait to go back.

Here is Meli on the drive up to Colorado. I made her sit in the back because her "spear-like paws" hurt me when she walks all over my legs. Its annoying lol

Before we went to Ouray, we stopped at Telluride. Scott's Aunt Jean & Uncle Bill were there with everyone else and were going to hike down the mountain. Isn't this a gorgeous view? We took the gondola up and we were even allowed to take our dogs. So the weenie dog got quite the exercise when we hiked down the mountain. I think she dropped like 4 pounds hah!Amanda, Callie, Weston, Scott, Meli, Me Telluride from the other side of the mountain

I'm showing you were we are at on the map! Telluride is also a ski resort and it is HUGE! Look at all the different places you can go skiing!

Lupine flowers, they are so pretty and cool

This is the Colorado State Flower. Aunt Jean told me what it was called but I don't remember.

Over in Ouray, we went to the Black Canyon Falls. They were so pretty and amazing!

I thought that this might've been a joke, but there really are tons of lil chipmunks just running around. And they are so cute I wanted one!

This is a little stream by Scott's aunt's house. When you follow it you actually come across a beautiful waterfall.

Weenie dog loves water!

We are hiking up to the waterfall

Soooooo pretty

On the 4th of July, this town has lots of activities going on. They had this tournament between two couples spraying a fire hose at each other and seeing who could last the longest. It was the most funnest thing I have ever seen and I think I should compete next time!

These couples in the blue and yellow were actually girls!!

Billy being a goof

Here's another couple but these are guys

The firework show was incredible! We went down with some of Scott's cousin's friends to the park and watched them. We could see them perfectly because they shot up right between the mountains in plain, perfect view. My camera wasn't that amazing at getting pics, but they are still "hecka" cool - (courtesy of Kirk).

The weenie dog found Cutler Creek and just had to show Casey & Kimber that she is missing them! :) lol

Here is the grand finale of the fireworks. It's pretty neat!

This is the fire hose fight. Sorry about the beginning, the water came over to where we were standing and we got soaked.

The adventerous Meli crossing the humungous river!
