Golf Lessons

In honor of Christopher, I found some great golf lessons for the kids to try this summer.  They loved it.  We did The First Tee program in Denver and I am so thankful for such a thoughtful organization.  The kids were taught by the most energetic teenagers and came home each day with a 'value of the week' (respect, responsibility, courtesy, etc).  

Christopher sent them coordinating golf shirts from the middle east!

A beautiful, public course (Willis Case) in Denver.  A bit of a drive, but absolutely worth it!

One Year

This little cutie spent her first birthday on the road on the way home from Colorado.  She didn't seem to mind!

In fact, this photo tradition was carried out at the most scenic little rest stop somewhere in Kentucky.  Ahhh...the joy and chaos of the third child!

Celebrating America

I couldn't think of a more perfect spot to spend our Fourth of July than hiking through Rocky Mountain National Park.  My mom is a high level picnic maker, so we packed it up and headed to Estes Park.  The kids were in heaven, shedding shoes to hop through an ice-cold mountain creek, balancing expertly across a fallen-log-bridge, marveling at an up-close encounter with an enormous elk, and even playing in some snow!






Why oh why did Si feel the need to take off his shoes in the middle of an icy rock field?
