The Sweat household has been extremely busy! Let’s break it down.
My in-laws arrived Friday 7/3 and left to go on a
Western Colorado vacation (they visited Steamboat Springs and Aspen) on
7/6 and 7/7. They came back to our place on 7/8 and left Friday 7/10.
My parents arrived Thursday 7/9 and left
Monday 7/13. PHEW!
The photos are extremely out of order!

| Lovely dinner! |
We all went out to dinner and had a great time. Helena loved all of the attention! This was the first time Helena has had all 4 of her grandparents at the same time!
Friday morning was pretty casual as we awaiting
my parents, and I went to the doctor for my back (more on that later).
After Helena’s afternoon nap we ventured out to the Denver Museum of
Nature and Science. We got there around 4:15pm,
just to find out they close at 5pm. But the last 30 minutes of the
museum is free so we just hung out until we could enter at 4:30pm. The
museum has an amazing “Discovery Zone” just for kids to run free! So
that’s where we took Helena for 30 minutes. Afterwards
we went to dinner at LoHi Steakhouse. It was just ok. The perk was
its location near Little Man Ice Cream!

Saturday morning we went to a nearby library
where a symphony was playing just for the little kids! It was a lot of
fun and Helena got to play with lots of musical instruments!
After her nap it was downtown to Coors Field for
a Rockies game! It was SO hot and we were right in the sun that we
only watched 3 innings before going inside (thankfully we had club
seats!). Helena had a blast walking around saying Hi
to everyone!

Sunday morning we went back to the Denver Museum
of Nature and Science to actually explore the museum! It was a lot of
fun, and we of course ended the visit back at the kids Discovery Zone
for Helena to run around some more!
Sunday afternoon we went to the pool!
Monday morning we to Carpenter Park where Helena
playing in the swing and for some reason was afraid of the slide…she’s
gone down in before! It’s so nice taking her to kid friendly places
where she can truly just wonder and I don’t have
to be too concerned or worried about her getting into something she
shouldn’t get into!

One of the things I love about this age is for the most part Helena is
predictable. She has her one nap that is usually taken around 12noon so
our days are split up into “morning” and “afternoon”. It makes outings
so much easier because
Helena as a schedule! I love seeing her soak everything in! It’s so
much fun seeing her see things for the first time.
Her latest development is dancing. You ask her dance and she'll shake her little bum and it's the cutest thing you ever did see!

Maybe it's just the face, but she looks like such a spirited little girl. I can just imagine her getting into all kinds of trouble! She has this look in some of your pictures that I swear TJ gets when he is being mischievous.
Also, I am super missing that predictability right now. I totally took it for granted, but it was so nice to know what to expect every day. That is such a happy place to be in!
What a fun summer you're having! I love the pictures!
