Moab and Father's Day





We spent Father's Day in Durango rafting, riding "Big Thomas" and eating good Texas style BBQ. Dylan has been looking forward to this day since last winter when he saw a picture of Colter with Thomas the Train. He was so excited and said "This is so AWESOME" and "Mom, this is SO exciting" over and over. The little conductor outfit scored him many points with the train staff and many pictures from random people. He picked out a Thomas "brella" as his treat and hasn't put it down since-"looks like rain mama" Rafting on the Animas was fun. We got to see Thomas go by on the tracks, which was an added bonus, and Dylan loved the "up downs". "Me no like the up downs in Moab, but me love these" The boys are growing so fast and I love seeing the pictures of them rowing the boat in Dad's lap each year. The one with Dylan followed this little quote "No worry Dad, me row boat, you just drink beer"---Trevor had a great Father's Day!






Bluegrass Festival was beautiful this year, not a cloud in the sky for four days! The boys and I spent some time learning about new toys. Colter loved the Chinese yo-yo and got pretty good at it. Dylan was trying to master the hula hoop, a favorite pass time in Telluride.




I love this picture!!!! We were hiking the Jurasic Trail behind our house and playing in the wildflowers.





"Crawdad Canyon" hike. From left to right: Colter, Gideon, Dylan, Noah and Eli and yes it did take us awhile to get all five sitting still and kind of looking at the camera. Totally worth it, they are so cute!


Dylan showing us how big the crawdads are. Eli, Colter, Dylan and Gideon chasing lizards.

Sheila and I took all five boys to Moab on a camping adventure. It was a huge success. The boys had so much fun lizard hunting, crawdad catching, playing in the water and hiking on the rocks. I love the ages that the boys are at, we are having such a great year of exploring!
Colter, Dylan and I are in Texas now enjoying family, daily adventures and swimming several times a day. Pics will follow in a few days. I uploaded these awhile ago and forgot to post it----oops.
