Did you all like the Pictures!?!?! They are pretty cool huh?!?! We've got lots of vidoes too!! We just got our external hard-drive today, so as soon as Daddy sets it all up Mommy will upload the videos. Most of them are of us Wheelin', or of the train ride. So keep your eyes peeled!!

In other news - Mommy started school this week! Her last semester!!! She's taking 3 classes, but only two are actual classes (one is an independent study, cuz the class she needed isn't offered this semester). So Mommy only has class on two days a week!! She is offically done with her internship, but her bosses wanted her to keep working through September. So she still works at Horsetooth on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. The little bit of extra money will be nice!!

Daddy's working hard as usual!! Now with Mommy taking me to and from the sitters house, he can ride his bike to work more!! It's a loooooooong trip though!! He's still got a couple of trips to take this year for work, and we are hoping that one of them is to Yellowstone National Park!! (for the Old Faithful Inn) Cuz then Mommy and I can go too!!

Not a whole lot coming up. We are coming to Indy for a visit in the middle of October, to see Jason - We hear he's doing lots better!! Yeah!! So have a good Labor Day weekend everyone!!

First Couple of Albums Up

So It's taking me a while to upload all those pictures, but I did get through about half of them last night!! So you can see those at the Kodak Gallery (links on the right). We started our trip Wednesday night, and drove to Buena Vista and camped. We then drove the rest of the way to the area. Here is a Map of the local area where we spent our time the first couple of days.
Thursday afternoon we drove through Ouray and across Ophir Pass. We then spent Thursday night in Telluride at a condo we were able to get for cheaper than a hotel!! We drove up to Bridal veil falls for many photos, and then walked around town and took the Free Gondola ride to Mountain Village. Friday morning we got up early and drove across Imogene Pass. That was a beautiful drive through abandoned mining towns and very high elevations. This drive comprised the bulk of the pictures, because it was so beautiful!! Because we ended up in Ouray again, we decided to look around a little more, and we visited the Box Canyon Falls, a very violent waterfall mostly hidden by the rock it has carved itself into! Very interesting (and LOUD!!). After that We drove into Durango to meet up with the rest of the family. Here's a map of the bigger picture!!
Saturday we spent the day exploring Mesa Verde National Park. We took a tour of Cliff Palace, and got to see many other interesting cliff dwellings. We went back on Monday and toured Long House, and took a tram ride to some adjacent villages. On Sunday we took the trainride from Durango to Silverton, and it was another beautiful journey!! I will get the pictures up from these last couple of days shortly, along with the MANY video clips we have!! In the meantime, enjoy the views from Ouray and Telluride!!

FAMILY VACATION!!!

Hey everyone!! What a Week I had!! Last Wednesday Mommy, Daddy and I went on vacation to Southwestern Colorado!! We had a blast!! We spent 2 days in Telluride, Ouray, and Silverton area doing some Wheelin' in the Xterra, then we drove down to Durango to meet up with Grandma & Grandpa Louie and Aunt Tina!! We went to Mesa Verde National Park and rode a Train from Durango to Silverton - My first train ride!! It was so much fun!! Mommy and Daddy said that we took WAY too many pictures!! (Mommy has a 2 GB memory card and we almost filled it up!! That's almost 500 pictures!!!) So we have to get an external hard drive now so that we can save them all. Mommy says she will get a couple of Kodak albums made as soon as she can, but it will take longer uploading them directly from the camera. But here's a few from the trip you can preview!!

Us in front of Bridal Veil Falls (in Telluride - 365 foot falls)

On top of Imogene Pass (Between Telluride and Ouray - 13,114 feet)

Us at Spruce Tree House (Cliff Dwelling at Mesa Verde National Park)

More to come - check back over the next couple of days for the Kodak albums!!

Wow!!! So much has happened since I talked to you all last!! Let's See . . . Where to begin!! Well, I now have two molars, one on the top left and one on the top right. Daddy's away right now in Alabama (where ever that is), but he'll be back on Wednesday. Mommy and I miss him! I can climb on stuff now!! I found out how to climb onto the dining room chairs, which means that I'm also tall enough to climb from those onto the Dining room table!! Mommy and Daddy aren't to happy about this, and moved all the chairs to the living room (where there's carpet and I can't push them to the table).

Also, this weekend I got to go to the Larimer County Fair!! Mommy and Daddy say that it's a good thing the fair is Free, cuz it is nothing like the fairs in Indiana!! Maybe one of these days I'll get to go to one!! But I still got to see a lot of really cool animals, bunnies, cows, goats, sheep, pigs, chickens, turkeys, and even a TURKEN!!! It's really Ugly!! You'll have to check out the pictures in the Kodak Gallery for yourself.

There's also some pictures in there from today when Mommy took me to Rocky Mountain National Park. She's been disappointed that she hasn't gotten to go this summer because of her job, so I told her I'd go with her while Daddy was gone! We did a couple of short hikes, and spent a lot of time up near the top (Fall River Road, the Alpine Center/Trail, and the Continental Divide) It was fun!! But I think tomorrow we are going to be lazy and just lay around the house!! (well, Mommy is anyways!!)

I'm so excited - and Mommy too - cuz Grandma Wilson, and Aunt Anna, and Unkie Rodgie and Auntie Kathie are going to come and visit us in December, For Mommy's graduation and for CHRISTMAS!!! YEAH!! Christmas in Colorado!! It will be so exciting!! I can't wait!! How far away is Christmas again???
