Summer vacation (Silverthorne, CO)

Family floating down a creek.

I just can't get enough of Colorful Colorado. This was our 12th road trip to Colorado, which found us back in Silverthorne. We went rafting for the first time and did the usual outdoorsy stuff.

Quick getaway (Austin, TX)

Tyson plays soccer

Tyson made it on the 7th grade boys soccer team. It wasn't a gimmie since he doesn't regularly play soccer. In fact, the last time he played on a team was over six years ago when he played for a recreational team in the Fall of 2018.

He was determined to earn his spot. There were many days leading up to the start of the season, that he would go out to practice with his friends.

Tyson played hard. Being a smaller kid on the field, he was not afraid to get in the mix with other boys who were a whole head taller than him.

They ended the season tied for 3rd in the district.
