This past Monday was Columbus Day, and our girls and the cousins both had off school, so we met up for a hike at Red Rocks Overlook Park.
The girls hiked and explored, and Cayenne of course loved being along. Going on hikes is one of her absolute favorite things!
Speaking of Cayenne, I had these photos on my phone from the past week - all typical Cayenne. She’s goes up in the morning to “help” wake up the girls. That usually entails her jumping into bed with them and nosing them, licking them, and burrowing under their covers until they concede to waking up. Sometimes she needs to take a more firm stance and actually take over the bed completely! She also gets jealous if I’m cuddling with one of the girls or even sitting with them while they read. In this instance, Lyla was reading to me after school, and as she usually does, Cayenne tries to get right in the middle.
She also tries to get in the middle even when she’s not supposed to be on the couch. She just can’t stand to be out of the center of attention!
Lyla had two games on this beautiful fall weekend. They had the previous two weekends off, but they got easily back into the swing of things on Saturday. I think she was extra excited to score two goals on a game when Uncle Bo came to watch her play! :)
The next day they were back at it again, and this time Lyla had her rotation in goal for the first half of the game. Each of the girls takes a turn playing in goal for a half, and Lyla’s first rotation in goal several weeks ago was very uneventful. I think she only had to touch the ball once. This week still wasn’t very busy (which her parents were happy about), but she did get to make some stops. I don’t think we’re looking at a “like father like daughter” situation here, but she’s got punting down pretty well! :)
We’re so happy to have such nice girls on Lyla’s team, and they love their coach a ton, so it’s been a fun experience for Lyla this year.
