Sprinkler time
On the 4th of July, we went to Martin Park for Sawyer's first fireworks display. He loved it and stayed up until 10:15! He was a tired dog for the whole next week but he says it was worth it. We also started swim classes a couple weeks ago and is working on kicking, blowing bubbles, and his strokes. He likes his teacher a lot but still is hesitant to float on his back and doesn't like going all the way under the water.
Enjoy the pics!
Telluride Bluegrass Festival!
We headed south to Telluride for the Bluegrass Festival this weekend. It was so fantastic. Great music, camping, weather, food, and totally amazing kid. This was Sawyer's first big road trip since being potty trained. Seven hour drive both directions and no accidents! He was a trooper on the drive and so fun at the festival. We brought our bikes and the bike trailer for around town and brought Sawyer's balance bike for around town and at the festival. 
The festival has a great kid's tent with activities that entertain and get them out of the blazing high-altitude sun. Sawyer watched puppet shows, talent shows, saw cookies baked in solar ovens, and worked on learning to hula hoop! All under the breathtaking mountains.
We took the gondola up to Mountain Village where we enjoyed hot cocoa, the view, and scouted out the mountain bike trails for our next visit.
And of course the hot summer days led to some very enjoyable ice cream!

Our Three Year Old
Sawyer turned three at the beginning of April. His third birthday marked not only a major milestone in terms of years but happened the same weekend we moved into our home and the week that he transitioned to the junior pre-school class at his school. It was a big month.
Our three year old is an utter delight.
He sings his ABCs, counts to 30, and knows his colors. His vocabulary continues to astound us. My favorite sentence from a few months ago was "Mommy, would you please de-couple these necklaces?"
He still loves his trains but is beginning to develop a fascination for cars. He is learning to use his pedal bike but when he really wants to zip around he still rides his balance bike.
At school he is beginning to get used to being in the junior pre-school room. It is a big change from a 2:8 ratio to a 2:18 ratio. He will be in the class until he is 4 years old, which means there are some kids in his class who are almost a full year older. There are a couple kids he likes to play with but he has yet to make the kind of buddy connection he made with Taj.
He loves to sing and is in a music class at school. He learns lyrics very quickly and often can be heard singing as he settles down for sleep. He also loves loves loves books. He can recite a dozen of his books word for word. He is beginning to pretend he is reading by running his finger across the text, though he usually "reads" in the wrong direction.
He is obsessed with drawing maps (usually to a camp site), robots, and machines. He likes to help me in the yard and garden- he uses his dump truck to collect the dandelion "spiders." A couple weeks ago we built a sandbox in the back yard and he can spend hours in that sand.
He is excited to camp a lot this summer and really wants to take another plane ride.
