HHI Vacation - Boat

The boat is always a family favorite....except for Piper. On Piper's first time out, she shared her frustrations.
Piper was not happy to be on the boat
 Shortly after this photo we returned to drop Nana Leveque and Piper off at the dock. It was obvious she wanted no part of it.

No matter who was Captaining we couldn't avoid all the dolphins


HHI Vacation - Crab Legs and Bike Rides

Ryder & Taggart had a special day with Papa Leveque as he took them out to learn all about crabs. The boys then got to catch them, cook them and eat them. The eating part took us all by surprise.

When given the chance, the boys won't pass up an opportunity to ride their bikes....usually not on a golf course though.

Mother's Day Hike

To celebrate Mother's Day, Team Hutton went outdoors for a family hike in Boulder County.

It was Piper's first official hike in the backpack. She loved it and did great.
We love you Mommy! Hope you had a great day and appreciated how grateful we are and how much we love you.
Daddy, Ryder, Tagg and Piper

Soccer Season

Yesterday, Ryder & Taggart completed another successful Spring soccer season. Both boys teams had great seasons and improved significantly. Personally, Ryder and Tagg continued to enjoy the competition and demonstrate great sportsmanship and teamwork.
