Bikes, Boys, Bubble and Some Weird Dos

Saturday was a kid centered day that started with the Bob Cooke Memorial Mount Evans Hill Climb Colorado State Championship. I think something like 1,500 people raced.
I was a volunteer so Ellie and I had to be there by 6:30 a.m. That meant that we got up at 5:15 a.m.


Ellie placed fourth in her division and was happy with that.

After that even Stephen and Davis came over to attend the Dragonboat Festival and hang out. It turned out to be too crowded for them, so they came home and made their own fun. It started out with making large bubbles and taking turns with the swing. That grew into a bubble fight - such silly fun!



We had a nice grilled dinner. Grandpa Don joined us and had fun, too. Somehow that led into giving each person a funny hair do or two:


Davis was up first. His was pretty tame and actually looked pretty good.



Stephen was next and his was a tad bit more wild.


The boys went all out with Ellie's hair. I imagine that the gel slicked hair slung across her chin felt a bit funky.


That gave way to roasting marshmallows and trying to make s'mores. We've decided that there must be some sort of trick to knowing how to make the chocolate melt and the whole thing to come together properly.


Somehow that led to hair do round 2. This was the giggliest session.
