Uncle Bob, Some Kids, and an ATV

During our summer 07 trip to Utah we stopped and visited Bob and Lori. We love to visit them. After 7 1/2 hours riding in the car you'd think the LAST thing kids would want to do is get in another vehicle.......but if its Bob's new ATV......well that's different!





Parker "driving" the ATV.
Bob takes him for a ride!


They went really early in the morning. Cold and a little muddy but very pretty in the mountains above Bob and Lori's house. Hmmm.....maybe the next time I need to wake the kids up early on a cold morning all I have to do is yell-------------- ATV!!!!!!!!




No matter how much horsepower and torque you've got it all comes around to nature, flowers, & love, for Aubrey and Rachel.


Beware the high mountain air.....it does something to your face.........




Jordan and his 'Unca BOB' share a love for all 4 wheel vehicles.

The Best Rest-Area EVER!

On the way to our summer vacation trip to visit family in Utah and Idaho we had an acute need to stop.....(jordan's small bladder) We happend upon a great rest area near gorgeous Vail, CO.
nice to see jordan and parker climbing on something other than our furniture!







Gotta love the 4-person teeter-totter!!!!!
Parker saying "dad go faster!" It was all good, until Aubrey lost her balance.



We had to stop and play on the equipment, run around, get a drink, and of course, use the bathroom. I'm sure this will be a regular stop in the future. We recommend it to all!

Creepy-Crawly Vacation




















A Creepy-Crawly visit!









Anna the McDonald Kids (Jacob, Ryan and Morgan) came to Colorado for a Spring break visit! We had a wonderful time with them.





We went to the park, the Denver aquarium and the Butterfly pavilion (known to the kids as the bug zoo!) There we looked at bugs, held bugs, and even ate bugs..... OK we drew the line there.





We had a great time and hope to spend more time with them soon.
