Blodgett Park

Tonight we went hiking at Blodgett Park. We had a good time. The city lights were a sight to see from up there. Cassandra had fun on Daddy's back.

Just pics

Romanian Festival

This is a picture of Cassandra sleeping, in the car, after a full day of fun. We went to the Romanian Festival in Boulder today. It was a good change from the Springs, and a cultural experience. We went expecting more, but had a good time.

Here we are watching some "Popular music" Dancers. This was fun to watch. It reminded me of when Cornel and I were watching the Dancers on Christmas from my balcony in Romania. There is a video clip of it at the end, please enjoy. This is similar to dances from Russia or Ukraine. Cassandra liked seeing it.



There were two tents set up, one for food, and the other for dancing. Here we are outside of the tents.

There were a lot of street musicians there because of it being at the Pearl Street Mall, an outdoor mall. One lady came and played a song "The Cat Came Back" for Cassandra, Anca, and Marc. They all enjoyed it. At one point, Anca and Marc's dad came by and they told him that the lady was singing a song for them. So, we took the opportunity to snap some pictures.





There were lots of flowers so the girls had photos by them.



I hope that you like this music. I would call it Romanian folk music. We had a perfect day in Boulder. There was also a Renaissance Festival a couple streets down from this. That was fun to see as well. We don't have pictures of it though. We liked the energy in Boulder today. We also saw a street magician do his show, we only got there for the last half of it.

Look at this.

Cassandra has been getting more comfortable this week with walking. It is like she now knows that she can do it. It is fun to see her change. And yes, that is not her book, but mommy's book.

Water again,

We went back to enjoy the water at America the Beautiful Park again. This is a bike ride we enjoy and Cassandra enjoys the water. We went to the park after the parade today and had a picnic too.

The water is very cold.

Parade!!!!!!!!

We went to Cassandra's first parade today. The parade was to welcome home the troups and it was very cool. It was loud though at times, so we put our blanket back a ways from the action.

A lady was there to hand out flags, so we got one for Cassandra. She loved waving it.

It was emotional to see all the branches of the military pass by us. We were all cheering and thanking the troups for what they did.

There were several bands that were marching too. They were playing patriotic music.

This one was not to close, but it was fun to see the hourses with soldiers on them. Cassandra liked them. She was pointing at them, which you can't see in this picture.

Well, we support the troups and it was neat seeing how many others do too. It has received a bad wrap from a lot of people, so it was good seeing how many others give their support and hearing them cheer and thank all the soldiers. I think it is important to remember where we have gotten our freedom and how we still have it. God Bless all the troups that have brought and protected our Freedom and Country.

A surprise for mom

We took family pictures at a park in Colorado Springs. We kept it a secret from my mom, because we wanted to surprise her. She loved the surprise and now you can see the pictures. It was a fun time having them. It was a couple days before we shaved her hair, so that was also a surprise for my mom. Someday soon, she will have long hair again. I hope that you like the pictures.
