Christmas in October

It's amazing, that it can go from 70 degree's one week to snowing the next. Kenedi and her friend Ali, along with Angie and I built this on Saturday during the first big snow storm of the year, to bad it will be gone by the first of the week.

Jellystone 2007

Hey Boo Boo?...where d'ya put the pic a nic basket? Could we have asked for better conditions for this hike? No bugs! No rain! No rangers at the hot springs! Yahoo! The kids did great; they really learned to push past some challenging moments. Let's hear it for Mariah, I mean the girl hurled her guts out and still hiked out 10 miles carrying her own pack. And I think Tylar shocked us all, that girls a trooper

The time of year was ideal. The river was lower and easier for the kids to cross. It also helped to regulate the temp of the pools (not too many cold swirls). You could sit and soak without getting eaten by deer flies and mosquitoes. Not to mention there was not a single other group to fight with over the best pools.

I can't wait for next year! I bet Denise already has our campsites reserved :)

Torrey 2007

This year's trip to Torrey was awesome! Everyone (with the exception of Dean and Heather) was able to be there and support Granny and Gramps. It felt pretty good to see Grandma win the prize for having the most family members in attendance. The highlight of the trip was of course the fantastic four wheeling trails and beautiful landscape. Other than the big $$ spent on gas, the kids getting electrocuted in the swimming pool and Debbie wrecking her brand new dirt bike, I would say it was the prefect family reunion.

I love this pic of Dono man looking cool... Do you think he is ready to get riding or just fall asleep?
