Night Fury

This is the ballon dragon that the boy scored at the food trucks a couple of weeks back.

Temescal - fishing & laughing

Met Jasper and his mom at Lake Temescal to try our hand at some more fishing after we all acquired a taste for it at Camp last week. The boys will never ever catch anything because all they do is jump around and make each other laugh. But despite the sillies they are both learning how to cast pretty well.

First Fruits

The farmer boy holds up the first harvest from our deck "garden" one perfect pea - note the corn behind him. We are also working on Kale and carrots!

Happy Fourth of July

Grizzly's

OK so you really have to enlarge this picture - but if you do you will see a few brownish lumps - trust me THESE ARE GRIZZLY BEARS, it was a mom with partially grown cubs foraging in this field along the streams. They looked AWESOME through the binoculars - not so much through the camera though...

Bison in the rear view

Note the black spot along the side of the road ... a few seconds earlier he was alongside the car - and the size of the car.
