Creativity Abounds!

Painting was a real hit this summer!  Can you imagine how many princess figurines were painted by our very own Princesses?  Many, I assure you!

And ... Lauren and Molly created beautiful acrylic masterpieces!  They took a half-day class, painting the majestic view from the Library's front porch.  Also,  ta-da-da-DA!   Molly created our Highlander Clan's first ever silk painting; it's outstanding! 

Not to be outdone, our Princesses created a whole wardrobe for themselves and their sisters:

Our creativity was not just limited to painting and fashion design.  No, indeed.  We donned our Princess outfits and hiked around the Y grounds in search of a suitable stage on which to perform!

Memorial Day Week at the Y

Highlander's DC family had plans in Denver and so decided to join GiGi and Grandad at the Y of the Rockies for their newly annual Memorial Day trek!  The week was punctuated with a visit from Taylor and Sean with lots of time for Y activities, hiking, and visits into Estes Park.  We participated in more of the Y activities than we have in recent visits; they were all lots of fun!  Swimming and Putt-Putt were huge hits as were the Parachute Games and Bugs, Bugs, Bugs!  Attendance at the Craft Shop was, of course, imperative.  Note the very fancy jewelry (bracelet) we made:

Riding the ponies was also a necessity,

                                                                                                                                       

while Grandad and little sis watched with envy!

And, of course, where there are horses there must be hayrides and marshmallow roasts!
