Pinewood Derby.

Jackson placed 4th this year...and he's totally happy with that. He's more interested in the design of the car. And we were so excited to see his buddy Wes take second!

The Balloon Stampede.....sort of.

Payden.

Feisty Kaitlyn. Mom. Dad.

What I miss the most.

Back in September we attended The Balloon Stampdede on Antelope Island. We saw FOUR balloons, they never took flight, and during the balloon glow, all FOUR managed to light up for about half a second. Dad and I stood out in the field....waiting for this moment....all FOUR to light up at the same time. Dad caught it....I didn't. We were both so proud of him. We swore never to return....but I'm glad Mom suggested one more try....

The Tulip Festival...at Thanksgiving Point.

Mother Nature managed to squeeze in a nice sunny warm day last week, and Eric and I managed to make it to the Tulip Festival. We thought the kids wouldn't be interested....turns out we were wrong. So..I guess we'll take them next year...and listen to their endless complaints about why we never do anything fun.
