Napping 101

Ben has this napping thing down... move around as much as possible and rearrange your gear in as many different locations as you can to wear out the ones trying to make you take a nap. You'll wear them out to the point that they're so tired that they want to go to sleep... leaving you alone with the WIGGLES! Quack Quack Quack Quack Cockadoodledoo

Camping Out - Part 2

Hey! Over here. Check me out! Ben could get in the tent... but he couldn't get out. That 10" of nylon was pretty imposing to overcome.

Ben and Grandma spent some quality time together on Saturday night roasting marshmellows.

Ben really enjoyed jumping on Aunt Julie's bed in the tent.

It got a little chilly once the sun started going down so Ben helped cover Grandma up to keep her warm.


I was tricked into trying to make JiffyPop over a camp fire. That short handle was not meant for this application. I had to improvise with an extension system. Brent would have been so proud of my engineering prowess.

Purple Knuckle Campground

Welcome to Purple Knuckle Campground! Come on in and check out the accomodations. OK, here's the scoop... Kurt took off to Columbus with Special Olympics for the weekend so we needed to stay home with the dogs (we've been pawning them off on everyone so much lately that we felt guilty doing it again). Julie wanted to go camping, so we decided to bring the campground to us.

Julie and Chris really enjoyed the smores... Chris thought the fire was a little to hot though. As Eddie Murphy once said... "Now that's a fire!"

Back from Glacier

We're back from Glacier National Park... and moving slowly. After 8 straight hours of horseback riding on Saturday, we're feeling the aches and pains. We'll try and get photos posted as soon as possible... but with over 1,000 to choose from it might take some time! The Gorillapod is the coolest travel companion. We have more photos of us ~ together ~ than in all the years we've been married combined.
