A Boy's Vacation








Here are some of the fun things we saw on vacation. I got to have my own camera, and took lots of great pictures. (I gave Braden a few turns, too.) Our favorite places in Yellowstone Park were the Mud Volcanos- even though they were really stinky! We also liked the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone. We learned that is how the park got it's name! (We had been wondering all week!!) We also saw lots of cool animals, and Mom got some great pictures of them. We loved camping, but got tired of swatting at mosquitoes. We went to some ranger talks: we learned about porcupines and touched porcupine quills. We also learned about bison (we saw soooo many bison!) and got to touch a bison pelt. We had a lot of fun on vacation, but I'm glad to be home, and now I'm getting excited about kindergarten. It's only a month away!

Home Sweet Home



We can't wait to show you what we've been up to, but you'll have to be patient. We just got back from a great vacation! Now it's VBS week, and frankly, we're pooped. We'll have something for you soon, though!

All-Terrain

Heather and Eric gracefully agreed to babysit their neice and nephews while the four parents had a break in the wilderness. Once our lungs adjusted to the altitude a little, it was a great time. Fresh air. Gorgeous scenery. And some wildlife. A few rests and a short trail-side repair later.




At the top of the world.

Arts Fest

Because we didn't come here to stay in the house all day...




The Cherry Creek Arts Festival. Lots of fun artwork to look at. Even fun artwork to make.






Out and about....photo compliments of Trevor!
