Camera recap of the summer

It's been a heck of a week.  Coco came back from our last camping trip with a respiratory bug and we spent a couple of scary days (and two trips to the vet) watching her and hoping she was okay.  I know when kids aren't feeling well, I know when dogs are under the weather, I know when Glenn's feeling puny, but I don't know cats, especially little 1 lb 7 oz cats who don't eat for a while.  It's no secret on this blog that we've all grown a little attached to her and it's pretty scary watching something that tiny get droopier and droopier.  Luckily, we got her on some medicine and after forcing a few syringes of a cat smoothie (tuna water or watered down wet food) down her throat, she started to perk up and she's doing so much better today.  She's still a little quiet and she's not very playful but we are hopeful that in a few days she'll be back to climbing curtains and chasing Trigger.  

So besides sick kittens, I've also had a weird dental thing that is driving me a little batty, super busy at work (State Fair week!) and this was the last week of the summer rec program for the kids so things are a little hectic around here.  I did find some time to finally clean off my phone and put some small, blurry photos of our summer festivities on here, that didn't make the fancy camera. 

Reina's first big-girl haircut.  She loved the blowout part the best. 

Will at the annual Frontier Day's parade in front of my office, drinking a hot chocolate all grown-up like. 

Rodeo selfie.  Reina was more concerned for the animal welfare this year but they both did well cheering and our favorite is still the Dinner Bell Derby (baby horses racing to their moms)

Love Reina's 'jail' expression and Will's lightsaber/sword/rolled up poster

When Reina met Coco - taken about 30 seconds after Reina walked in the room.  "Are we really keeping her?"

A sideways picture of Coco looking out our front door.

Well this is just getting ridiculous.  A sideways picture of Coco sitting on Glenn's shoulder as we drive to Estes Park.

Coco camping (not the the cold camping trip)

Where's the cat, anybody seen the cat? 

There she is! 

Coco and Trigger sharing a moment.

Coco fell asleep and Trigger sat there looking slightly concerned for a few minutes until Coco started purring.  Trigger then levitated off of the bed and ran out of the room. 

A peach pie that I didn't totally screw up.  One of my summer resolutions is to figure out pie crusts. 

Tootsie off of the leash and sitting in the same sector as Coco without wanting to eat her. We call that a victory.

In cleaning out closets last weekend, Reina inherited Will's #18 Broncos jersey, which she wore on Monday.  It's almost football season and it's always cat snuggling season.
