Fun times in Torreon

We went fishing. Cote caught a nice trout....
So did Crew............

Brexton and G-Mama tried : ( .......

Cole caught a fish but he was on the other side of the pond and no one had a camera. He reeled it in with the help of a one handed Charlotte.................

The grandkids love to blow up balloons with Papa.

HI! Who are you guys and where am I?Is Miller not the cutest!

Nixin wasn't lovin the pool..............

Brexton wasn't lovin his floaties at first.........

Nixin didn't want to swim but she looked good..........

Oh, I forgot this pic (I didn't take it) Steve went down on a slippery rock while fishing and he took Crew with him!

There are four little boys lined up here ready to jump!

My folks came up for the day.

Mukutu's Island

Steve and I went with Brinton and Charlotte to Mukutu's Island for a fun evening. Crew and Cole spent the night with us after we partied!

Cruzin with the Hanks

We had a great time on our cruise with our good friends Brent and Judy Hanks. The pictures above and below were taken in Victoria BC. The flowers are so beautiful.

The corner market below was taken in Seattle,WA at Pikes Market Place.

The Space Needle in Seattle - 600 and something feet tall.

Below is my self portrait taken on top of the Space Needle. Yes I had to take my own picture because no one would go up to the top with me. That is our cruise ship in the background.

The picture below was taken in Port Alberni BC. One of my fav ports even though it is a very small logging town. The town went all out for us, there hadn't been a cruise ship in port for 7 years. They had live music all day playing in the key, dance recitals and vintage car show.

Port Alberni

Port Angeles

Charlotte here is the Twilight store in Port Angeles where Brinton spent 8 months of his mission. There isn't a lot in Port Angeles but it is beautiful.

This is the Craigdarroch Castle in Victoria. It was built in 1890. We toured the castle. They are presently redoing all of the landscaping. Loved it!

The best sign ever for a fish market found in Port Alberni. The "Cod-father". Steve found this.





When we were in Port Alberni down at the key watching the local entertainment the guys wanted to head back to the ship. Judy and I decided to hang around town for awhile. On our way back to the ship the steam engine train was stopping down by the pier to let a group off and pick up another. The train ran up to the saw mill. We got the great idea to put pennies on the track. I ran over to one of the train porters and asked him if it would be alright to do that. He said do it 50 yards down and stand back. We were having a great time and put out about 10 pennies. Afterwards we were trying to find them all and a young man came over and asked if we would put some of them back on the track and could he take our picture because he said we looked like we were having a great time. When he found out we were from AZ he was so excited because we were foreigners! Most of the people on the cruise were in fact Canadians. Then he told us he was with the paper and he wanted to put us in it.

See the pennies?

These are Canadian pennies.

Good times! Noodle salad!

Polk's Last Chance

Did Terri really get her buckskin colt? He was born 5-4-09 @ approximately 11:55 AM. I was there right after Flashy delivered. He is so tall and all legs. This is Polk's last colt and finally a buckskin. Reggie wants to name him Polk's Last Chance. I luv it! we will see what Terri thinks.

More Zipline Pictures of the Babies!

They really were loving it!

Cash & Nixin Ride the Zipline For the 1st Time

We had a nice family dinner Sunday. Cash who is 9 months old and Nixin who is 6 months old and the only grandaughter rode the zipline for the first time. They both loved it! They were kicking their feet and we got some smiles out of Cash. Too bad Ryan was up at the cabin sick with the flu!

Scott, Carrie, Martin and Miller came by a few weeks ago and brought out the Big Boy for a ride!

We love having the family together!
