North Rim of the Grand Canyon

The North Rim of the Grand Canyon has got to be one of the best places to view one of the most incredible places on this earth. Lots of memories from this summer.

Silverton, Colorado

We just had to take the drive up to Silverton to see one of my old favorite mining towns. The Durango/Silverton narrow gauge train travels the old canyon of the Animas River everyday.

Southfork, Colorado

What a beautiful drive over to Southfork via Pagosa Springs. We spent the 4th of July here and played in the river.

What a vacation!

We headed to southwestern Colorado in late June to enjoy the Dolores River. We stayed in a cabin, fished and played. A great time as a family!












We found this incredible park we called the castle. It was the idea of the local elementary students and their teacher. They drew up the concept with the help of some grown-ups and the community wrote a grant and with contribution built the park. What a concept!

Las Vegas 10 years later

It's seems like years since we went to Las Vegas about 4 hours from our home. We got away for a few days during Spring Break and the weather was wonderful after leaving the snow and cold of the mountains. To get a bird's eye view of the city we went up in the Stratosphere Tower. They have rides on the top of the tower - crazy. We enjoyed the new attractions on the strip - New York, New York, the MGM, Paris, and the fountains at Bellagio.
