Winter or Summer?

Colorado is having it's usual bi-polar winter.

On Saturday we took the girls to the mountains to learn about winter animals. It was another great program from the Nature Center up there. The weather was freezing, and the entire 3 hour program was outside! Luckily for me, Camille didn't want to be a part of the program so we stayed inside at the Nature Center and avoided frostbite.

Ben and the other girls were not so lucky- hee hee.

The program started with a hot dog roast. It's the first time the girls ever roasted hot dogs, and they enjoyed it. Plus, it helped to warm them up.

 Camille looking cute, as always.

 Ben looking hot, as always, even though he is shivering cold.

Once we thought the rest of the family would be returning, we went outside. Camille started wandering around yelling at the top of her lungs, "Daddy!" Finally, her yelling was rewarded as we saw him make it back up the trail.

 Here she is, very excitedly calling for Dad and waiting patiently for him to get to her:

Then, fast forward 4 days.

The girls finished up their swim lessons.

 Claire doing the backstroke:

Audra doing the backstroke She is right on the cusp of knowing how to swim. I think I am going to get she and Claire private lessons. I think with 3-4 private lessons each and then a lot of just going to the pool, they will both finally get the technique down and know how to swim.

Then we went outside to the 70 degree weather for the girls to play at the park. It has a zip line which all the girls LOVE- who wouldn't? I laid on the fake grass and basked in the warmth. While NY got 30 plus inches of snow, we got a perfectly nice spring day.

Here's some cute video of the girls doing the zip line:

Next up weather wise? More snow on Saturday.
