Whatda ya know! If you look hard enough for photos, you'll eventually find them...here are more photos from our Nuetzel-Nuetzel camping trip - see next post for details.

Back in I think late July the Salt Lake Nuetzel's came to stay with us while they attended a adoption conference that was going on in Denver. We met them up around Steamboat for a weekend of camping. We spent part of the day trying to hike, and when that started to go South, we headed for the beach. You would think that a lake at 9,000 ft or so would be cold, but it was actually kinda nice. Mark and Piper got their kayaks out and I thought I had some photos of that, but they are lost on our computer somewhere. After beach time, we headed over to a park ranger lead activity. Did you know that you can catch crawl-dads with a piece of pepperoni on a string? Well, you can. I think everyone caught at least one crawl-dad...except me, although in my defense, I really wasn't trying too hard. Anyways, here is a photo of Olivia, Annie, Jonah, and Faith at our campsite, which was surrounded with wildflowers, a photo of the world's cutest baby, and followed by another photo of the cousins.

Here is Annie back in early August with her best-est friend in the whole Bellview Park Petting Zoo. It was all we could do to keep her from trying to kiss this poor cow right smack on the lips. Notice the shoes on the wrong feet...and up and coming fashion trend.

We camped up in Leadville over the 4th of July and liked it so much that we decided to go back in August for the Leadville Boom Days Festival. This festival was definitely better than the 4th of July Fest they have each year...the parade for Boom Days had at least 3 more fire engines than the 4th parade, and they were throwing out better candy too. They also had a Money Sand Pit for the kids. Basically each age group got about 2 minutes to dig in the sand and try to find as much money as they could. I coached Annie prior to her turn, but I guess she wasn't really paying attention to my detailed instructions, because all she found was $1.25.

Photo of Tim and the girls on the World's Biggest Rock within 0.5 miles of our campsite. Looked bigger in person than it appears to be in this photo. Poor Bailey, he really wanted to climb up there too...but never quite made it.

Annie at the Money Sand Pit and her bag full o' a buck twenty five.

Family Photos

We had family photos taken recently. Annie had a good time, which means we were able to get few good pictures. Hope you like them!
