Fort Steele

 A very dramatic sky.

 Frontier kids.

 Old fashioned teeter totters.

 I had to explain that this was a telephone and there used to be switchboards.

 Panning for gold.

Wasa Lake Triathalon

Notice the mitts, vests and three layers on our children. Now notice my husband in a wetsuit about to jump into a lake. Air temperature: 6 degrees Celsius. Water temperature: 11 degrees Celsius.  

 By the time he finished the Olympic length bike ride he could almost feel his toes.

 But man were we proud of him and I cheered loud enough to embarrass our kids.

Adlai and Kaya gave Daddy a big high five right before the finish line.

The Weselhead

 Mud swallows make an almost incessant round trip to feed their babies.

 Kona smiling.

 Happy belated Mother's Day to Grandma.

 The joy of bubbles.

Air time

We were all laughing so hard by the end of our trampoline time that our sides hurt.

Walking and learning to putt

Full circle

 Here we are ten years after Patrick and I first stood on this bridge and got engaged.

Mother's Day Tea

 Spring creeping across the foothills

At preschool Adlai proudly sings, "I love my Mommy yes-Sir-ee. She is very good to me. She makes me cookies and yummy treats. That's my Mom and she's real neat."
