National Parks Tour

My photography friend Lee and I went on a 5 days photography / camping trip to Black Canyon of the Gunnison, Zion, Bryce Canyon and Capitol Reef.  I wanted to post a couple of shots I took from my phone in order to get a quick post up to share.  We also saw tons of cool things along the way as well like old mining towns, waterfalls, monument valley and horseshoe bend which all made for a fantastical trip!

Birthdays 2013. 35 + 5

Natalie and dads birthday was a family fun day. LOTS of cake from Costco. Here are some iPhone shots. I did use a real camera but have not processed them yet.
Last year Natalie got a goldfish for her birthday and one year later to the day little "cupcake" died. A very tragic way to start your 5th birthday. Any way one of the outings was to find a new fish. She named her Ariel after the little mermaid .

The day we sold the Trooper

We sold our Trooper today, we have had a lot a good memories in that truck here in Colorado. It's a bittersweet feeling that its gone now but we sold it to another young couple who just moved here from Florida and they needed a "Colorado Car". Good times.
Here are some last pictures.

Sledding and hot chocolate

An hour over at cottonwood creek park sledding in -10 with the wind was enough to bring us home for some hot chocolate.

Number 8 and counting

Today we spent time riding up and down the gondola at Breckenridge. We were planning on riding the gold runner coaster at Breck but they couldn't get the thing open because of all the snow. We will be back to try that again. So we went to the park and went sledding with the kids until they couldn't hack it anymore and started falling apart at the seems. We went back to the lodge and had snacks and played games and then everyone finally fell asleep for naps. Tonight Lindsay and I will celebrate our 8th wedding anniversary at Eric's restaurant here in Breck.
