More vacation pictures

Here are some more vacation photos from Jeff's camera--

He got some nice shots of a hummingbird who was drinking from Mary's feeder at our camp:

Hilarious (at least to me) old photos

I was just uploading Jeff's vacation pictures and noticed Jeff had not uploaded pics since summer 2006. I found these pictures of Abigail from March and April of 2007. I had forgotten what a chubber she was, oh my goodness! (Funny thing is she is a lot taller now then in these photos, but only about 3 or 4 pounds heavier. ) These gave me a good laugh so I thought I would share...

Above- She looked ready to rumble in this one, haha!

^^^ Love how I put 2 ponytails in when she had so little hair.

Look at that pudgy leg, teehee!

Cheesy smile^^^

Hope everyone gets a kick out of these too! ;)

Pictures from our trip to Colorado

We took a trip to Leadville, Colorado this year to camp in the mountains. We stayed at Father Dyer campground, with an RV, a pop up, and a tent. No hook ups of any kind or showers there, but we did have flushing restrooms nearby. Some aspects of the trip were stressful--we had to take Abigail to the doctor for a bladder infection early in the trip, and the mosquitoes were thick this year. However the mountains were beautiful as always, and the weather was a nice break from the heat in Kansas. At our camp it reached highs in the upper 60s/low 70s, and the lows at night were in the upper 30s/low 40s.

Here are some photos, just a few out of the over 300 shots I took (and I haven't even uploaded the set of photos Jeff took yet!):

Above- We took a train ride from Leadville

Above and below- the kids really enjoyed playing in the dirt at the campground. Abigail in particular seemed to really enjoy getting filthy and rubbing dirt on her face.

Below- the kids relaxing in their camp chairs (for about 25 seconds before they were off and running again!)

Below- A few shots from Turquoise Lake, which was a short hike from our campground. The kids had little fishing poles (without hooks of course) and they loved the lake!

Gavin even went for a dip, even though the water was VERY cold. See-

Abigail LOVED digging in the sand-

More fun at the lake-

Here are a few photos of scenery--
