Dowling/McQueen Reunion - Colorado


We surprised Grandma Dowling by showing up for her 80th birthday weekend. She was definitely surprised when she saw Chris sitting on the couch in Diane's house.
The kids were addicted to Aunt Victoria and her bag of tricks.

Jacob showed off his new walking skills.
And did something he never ever does - fall asleep in the stroller. He was so tired.

We spent Saturday night walking the mall in Boulder and had such a great time watching the street performers. There was a guy with a didgeridoo who was totally enchanting and the kids just sat and watched him. In a "one-man-band style" he Incorporated rhythm instruments into his performance. He had a wood block in his pocket, bells on his shoes, and these cool little frogs on the didgeridoo that made a croaking sound when he hit their back.
Cousin Cameron was an instant buddy. He and Aaron bonded like brothers (and battled like them too)


We watched an old man get into the 20 inch box and the 16 inch tube. Even though I've seen him before, it was still amazing. Keith said he saw that same guy in Key West 20 years ago. The kids liked him because he let 4 of them climb into the box - at the same time.
This guys was truly nuts. He was a ton of fun to watch and before he even got on the unicycle he had a 8 year old boy throw swords up to him and he stood on a ladder with no support. The sun was right in his eyes up there - I really don't know how he does it.
