The Birds

Yay!!  Our great friends the Birds came for a visit this summer.  It's been a couple years since we saw them last.  Nate & Morris used to be roommates in college.  We also got married within a week of each other and lived in the same apartment complex for a year or so.  So many of our favorite memories in our early years of marriage were with Morris & Malea.  Since we moved to Colorado and they to California we haven't been able to see each other very often, but it's so neat when we do get together to just pick up where we left off.  We both have four kids now and they're all somewhat similar ages, so our kids had a BLAST together!
 
We thought it would be fun to take them to the penny arcade in Manitou Springs, which has such a vast collection of antique and vintage arcade games.  There are some games from as early as 1910 all the way up to modern day.  Our favorites are pac-man and the derby where all of us can play at once, and of course the hundreds of kiddie rides.

Gotta love her face!
 
We also took them to the Olympic training center to look around.  I think there was an excitement there with the summer olympics about to begin. 

I think some of the most fun the kids had was diggin' in the dirt!  Covered in dirt, eating watermelon - now that's what summer is all about!
 
We were able to capture some awesome shots of the kids.  First, the nice one...
then the silly shots.  There were so many great ones, it was hard to choose.
Too much fun!!!!
