Fishing

Sunday morning the boys got to go fishing for the first time on Grandpa's boat out at Czechland Lake. The weather was perfect and Makenna and Cruz caught quite a few fish. I think Cruz had more fun playing with the worms then actually fishing but we won't tell Grandpa! Levin hated his pink life jacket he had to wear (poor guy) so he spent most of the time sitting on the floor of the boat playing with his toys or eating snacks. Hopefully many more fishing days with Grandpa will be in the future for the boys!

Colorado Trip

We had a great trip to Colorado. Thank you Scott's for inviting us to come hike with you! We made it to the top of Pikes Peak in 6 1/2 hours and it was quite the workout but we survived:) Not sure we'll ever hike a mountain again but I'm glad to be able to say we did it! We left Thursday and stayed Thursday night at Steve & Leah's house in Colorado Springs (Steve and Jake went to high school together). Then on Friday we did some sight seeing and of course rode the train at Criple Creek for Cruz. Friday and Saturday night we stayed in a cabin at the base of Pikes Peak with the Scott family, it was a beautiful cabin. We hiked on Saturday so Pam took Cruz to Santa's Workshop that day, which he of course had to ride the train over and over again. (I don't think he'll ever grow out of this train stage!) Little Levin got to stay in Nebraska with Grandpa and Grandma Walkenhorst since he doesn't ride well in the car but it sounds like he got spoiled rotten while we were gone so I'm sure he didn't mind! Hard to believe in less then a week he'll be a year old already! Anyways here are some pictures from the trip...click on the slideshow to make them larger.
