Friday evening birthday party for Elliot's friend.

First day of school

Andrew (9th grade) and Jacob (11th grade) leave first in the morning, biking to high school.

August birthdays

Here's to another year...

Colorado (Silverthorne, CO)

This was our 10th road trip to Colorado. We've made this long drive ten times. I told the family that this would be the last trip to Colorado, that it's time to explore other destinations. Time will tell if I hold true to my word.

This trip was longer than usual, nearly two weeks. I wanted to give everyone time to get acclimated to the high altitude (Silverthorne elevation >9,000 ft) before we did any outdoor activities.

Mt. Evans 14,265′ (Colorado)

Proud of my big boys for completing their first 14er. This brutal hike took us just over 7 hours to complete.
