August 12 – Typical family photo

OH No, that dinosaur is about to step on Wade!

We spent 30 minutes in Picadilly Square getting just the right shot of Wade and a McD’s burger on the billboard behind him.

This one only took a minute. Note the looks on the kids faces behind him.

FYI- It was free entry day at the Denver Museum of Science and Nature.  We were told the attendance was 10x a normal day.

At the Holiday Twin Drive-In in Fort Collins, where we were subjected to 5 hours of G.I. Joe and Transformers 2.

Cole would like you to note the height difference.

July 31 – Mud

This was taken by the gondola guide for us after a ride down Vail in the pouring rain. We had to take shelter from the lightning under a chairlift halfway down.

Five minutes from the bottom the sun came out.  Not only are we all coated in mud, but Cole has a huge gash on his shin. At least the camera stayed dry.

July 12 – backyard

My parent’s backyard makes me itch just looking at it. Pretty, but a LOT of plants!
