Pictures trapped in the phone

We have been busy the past few weeks doing a lot of little things, so this is a jumble of pictures from the last few weeks.

On the way home from our Yampa River trip Calvin took a detour into southern Oregon on his bike.  It was not a particularly short detour, 400+ miles, but I only have pictures from the beginning of the trip.  It was a grand adventure and he'll have to tell you about it some time.

We start riding the big bikes early in this family

Shortly after Calvin got home I flew to Virginia to help Sarah fly cross country to Reno with the kids while Toby and his dad drove.  The last night in Virginia we walked to a pizza place for dinner and the kids posed for pictures.

The kids were really good on the trip, but wrangling 3 little kids is never easy. They have a lot of energy.

The Bordelons stayed with us for a few days while waiting for their furniture to arrive.  They were moved in by the 4th of July and came back to our house to celebrate the holiday.

It is fun to have them close enough to get together for an evening in the park.  What a joy it is to me.

The other event that has been looming large on our horizon is Calvin's hike on the John Muir Trail.  After months of preparation he has packed his food for the food drops...

packed his pack (more than once)

and taken off for his grand adventure.
