Camping Trip

We ventured camping a couple weekends ago--up a little past Kennedy Meadows. Some friends joined us for the first part so it was pretty fun having them share the campsite.


Mixed message of "no horseplaying on the rocks" while I'm taking a picture cause they're so dang cute.









Trev roasted his own hot dog this time


John pouring himself a can of margarita


Ryan discovered mat horsie again


Marshmallows!




My favorite part--when John makes breakfast


Ryan showing his dinosaur pancake


I decided I wanted to be in a picture too


The boys went off exploring while we packed up the tent


Snack break near beginning of hike


Trev thought it'd be cool to wear the Ryan pack


Ryan did not think this was so cool


John took us off trail a bit to have a bit more adventure. The while flowers were everywhere--this was the wildflower jungle part




Lots of trees to climb over


Happy Camper


Second snack break


As usual the hike was about ten minutes too long for Trev--so John was diverting him on the way back by guessing that we'd arrive at our site when they counted to one hundred. It was pretty funny to listen to as he had to stretch it at the end... "what comes after 86? Did we say that one already? Oh, we just said it again... etc"

Wyoming Trip Part Duex

Wyoming take two. Another big trip was up to the mountains nearby to see the snow. I guess there's significantly less up there than maybe a week prior when they took the girls up. But there was still plenty to play around in.


John and Trev are both in there--they climbed up a bit higher than the rest


Two little snow cowboys


Trev and Kaya in a snow cave

Someone (Marie or Jackie)had the good idea of bringing up different colored water bottles to decorate the snow.

If there's a stick lying around, Ryan will find it







Getting close to lunch time... contributing to one flop of a family picture

We went to Barber lake on the way back for lunch and some fishing.


I was very excited to find the bug spray--we were eaten like crazy all week


Kaya and Ryan getting some worms


Cute little fisher people


And this is fishing without anything on the other end...


Trevor was very excited to catch his first fish


Uncle Dan having him touch it


Ryan making a fishy face at the fish he caught


Ryan and Kaya--they were having a discussion about the dangers of fire ants

Here's some playing around the house pictures...

And much to my excitement Kim was able to come up from Fort Collins to spend a day.


Me and Kim!



Marie and I were "running errands" at the coffee shop and stopped to take a picture with the nearby sign on the entrance to a hair salon/spa. We felt it captured our afternoon.


We went back to Veedawou with the Williams and Grammy Jackie. Trevor is thoroughly in love with the area and suggested that we get a house that is right next to Veedawou so we wouldn't have to drive there.


Dan and the girls


Kaya the little mountain goat


Lunch at John's favorite table


Ryan and Auntie Marie looking at a squirrel


Self portrait with Gracie--turns out we are both princesses
