Andrew’s 1st Birthday

We went to Cleveland over Labor Day weekend and Andrew was able to celebrate his 1st birthday with lots of family.  This video is from a party at Brian and Laurie’s house where almost all of Laurie’s side of the family was in attendance. Andrew has so many cousins!

Everyone but Louis loved the water slide.

Gaga and Papa bought two matching motorized cars that the boys loved.

Matt also had a first that weekend – riding a tall bike!

Camping near Mt. Princeton Hot Springs

Our family and Grandma and Grandpa Brooks headed to Mt. Princeton Hot Springs in early August. Not only was it Ashley’s birthday, but it was the right time of year to sit in the river where the hot water mixes with the cold mountain water. People had stacked up rocks to make pools of just the right temperature.

Our campsite had a beautiful view of a mountain side.

Everyone enjoyed our time at the campsite.

On our way out of Mt. Princeton we stopped at a mining town where the chipmunks were eager to be fed.
