Movie Night at Broncos Stadium

As part of the Broncos Bunch (Broncos junior fan club), they host a movie night every year at the stadium. This year, they were showing the new Minions movie. 

Bedgear was on site handing out pillows to the first 200 fans. Each boy got their own Broncos pillow. 

Then we enjoyed the movie. It was a fun event that we will not miss next year. 

4th of July

Every year there is a bike and pet parade before the Highlands Ranch 4th of July parade, and every year Daniel says he wants to participate. This year, we finally let him ride in it. Patrick wanted to join. I think they enjoyed it. I'm not sure if Dad did or not. 

Then we got to enjoy the parade. 

Highlands Ranch puts on a good show. 

They have a lot of floats. 

And a ton of fun cars. 

We watched the fireworks that evening. Patrick met up with a friend from school, Addy.

It was really smoky, but I think everyone had a good time. 

Children's Museum

Daniel signed up for Junior Astronaut camp at the Children's Museum this year. So, one day, after we dropped him off, the other two boys and I went to museum. There are a lot of hands on activities for kids to do. The boys loved the climbing area the most. 

There is a camera at the top so the spectators can see what is going on. 

They have a bubble room with all kinds of things to make bubbles out of.

At the entrance, there is a photo booth with props. Then they post the pictures on screens hanging overhead. This helped out when we were waiting to pick up Daniel. 

He said it was a lot of fun and he is still interested in space. 

Warriors Black Baseball

The Warriors Black ended another great season with a trip to the World Series. The ended up short but that didn't change the amazing season the boys had. 

Josh got to pitch more this year, which he loved. 

The boys did an artsy photo shoot for coaches gifts this year. The top photo is of their nicknames and the bottom shows words their coaches inspire in them.

Great season Warriors. We can't wait to see what you do next season!

McGregor Weekend

The Henkes family was hosting a reunion in McGregor, so Daniel, Patrick and Mom took a flight back to Iowa to visit the family. Josh had baseball that weekend so he stayed home with Dad. 

The boys were excited to find out their plane was outside on the tarmac. They got to walk right up to the plane and board on a ramp instead of a jetway. They were very impressed.

First stop in Iowa, was to Saylorville lake where the Weldons were camping out in their motorhome. We got to spend a few hours with the cousins. 

Then we headed to McGregor to play with cousins on the other side of the family.

With Uncle Jon and Grandpa around, there is a lot of fun to be had by rambunctious boys. 

Plus, lots of water time. 

Daniel even tried his hand at skiing. He got up for a little bit. He says he'll try again next year. 

He loved tubing though. 

And they both loved swimming in the river. 

Then we headed over to Pikes Peak Park for the reunion. It was fun to see all the family together. I apparently got so lost in it, I forgot to take pictures. Trust me. It was fun and there were a lot of people there. Hopefully the whole family will visit next summer. We need more river time. 

Daniel's Baseball Adventure

Daniel wanted to try baseball again this year. He got on a team with quite a few friends from school. 

This is the first year the kids got to be catcher. I think Daniel really liked this position. He was even okay with the helmet and pads when it was really hot. 

This is how he felt about baseball most of the time. I don't think he will be signing up next year. 😆

Rox Stars

Patrick started t-ball this year. He was very excited to get to play instead of watch his brothers. He was on the Rox Stars and loved every minute of it.

I see more baseball in his future.
