Summer Vacation, Part 2

June 16-30

I'll be honest, the second half of June was not terribly exciting. We went to a local car show on the 16th. We saw some really rare, old cars, and a bunch of really lame entries as well. Check out this beauty. I wish I could have seen the equally cool dude driving it.

It's hard to tell, but they painted skeletons all over it, including under the hood.

We also took Noah minigolfing for the first time. At first he didn't want to leave each hole. Once he understood that there was "another one" to move on to, then he kind of got into it. Mostly Brian and I played minigolf and Noah ran with his ball to each hole and tried to putt it in from about 3 inches. I can't tell you how many times he exclaimed, "Oops, I missed!" It was pretty cute, but he was none too happy when we reached the 18th hole and not only could he not find his ball in the hole, but there was not another hole to move onto.

On Father's Day, we took a short hike up in the foothills. Noah liked climbing on rocks and splashing in the little creek along the trail.

On the last day of June, Purina's Incredible Dog Challenge came to Denver's City Park for a show. It was really fun to watch. Sadly, we skipped the main event, the dog diving competition, but it was so freaking hot that day and Noah's face was getting red and blotchy from the heat. We did enjoy watching Jack Russel races, high jumping, pole weaving, and frisbee toss competitions though. We even saw Picaboo Street race a golden retriever through the weave poles. Talk about random.

Other than all that, we hit the pool a few times, but often we just stayed inside with the air conditioning. From June 22-26, we were over 100 degrees every day, topping out at 105 for two of them. Denver had the hottest June on record. Should be interesting to see what the rest of the summer will bring!
