Skyrocket in Flight!

Eric and I experienced flying over Royal Gorge Canyon with a bird's eye view....

We HIGHLY recommend it! It always good to see the world from a different perspective when the opportunity presents itself.

Summer Vacation '09

Having just returned from Colorado Springs, thought a few photos would sum up the trip...from the Yellow-Bellied Marmot on Pike's Peak (14,110 ft), white water rafting, riding the Skycoaster over the Royal Gorge, checking out the Air Force Academy, to relaxing at the beautiful grounds of the Broadmoor, a good time was had by all. If you have an opportunity to visit that part of our nation, we recommend it! Next time you speak to Kevin, ask him how he liked the SUSPENSION BRIDGE!

Knee High By The Fourth of July!

Gotta love Indiana in the summer!

Eric's Philmont Adventure

So exactly one week has passed since we dropped Eric off at the airport to head out to New Mexico for two weeks of BSA hiking and camping.  I received a call today from an unknown number.  It was Eric calling from the summit of Mt. Baldy, New Mexico.  Cell reception was great, so they let all the boys phone home.  He was thrilled about all of his adventures to date.  Prior to the trip he was worried about the food, but said it is actually really good.  Click on this link to see another hiker's account of Mt. Baldy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIWJrSG_JJk  or check this one out.... www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDndUrQBv2w&feature=related

Whew! What a Ride!

Who knew having your offspring complete a normal milestone would create such havoc on one household?! Meaningful gifts to create.....meaningful relationships to honor.....senior night.....open houses galore.....more meaningful gifts to create......relatives to invite..... baccalaureate to attend.....senior church service.....and GRADUATION! All this amidst the "regular" stuff..i.e. hubby gone for weeks on end, work, sports, school, animals, etc...... It's been a whirlwind, but enjoyable none the less. Here are some pics from our weekend for those who couldn't make it. Thanks to all who helped make Sarah's time so special, and for all those who travelled the distance for the occasion! We love you!
