For those of you who actually check our blogspot from time to time, I know you are probably getting sick of seeing the Bandelier National Monument blog pop up. I have been awful at keeping this thing updated. But I have great plans to update it soon despite our recent downgrade to dial-up internet (a change which has drastically decreased my time on the computer for better or for worse.) Anyway, I'll post again soon. Don't give up on us!

A-Camping We Will Go!

We went camping the Friday and Saturday before Father's Day up at Jack's Creek. It was beautiful! We pitched our tent in this green meadow surrounded by pines and aspens, and wild irises! (I didn't even know irises grew in the wild!) Arthur and Dallin brought their new fishing poles and we found a little pond for them to fish in. Even though the fish weren't biting, they still had fun casting their lines out over and over and over again. Our friends The Schmutz's and the Halls met us up there Friday night and we sang songs around the campfire, and looked through Arthur's telescope, and went on a hike to the creek the next day where Daphne discovered a nice mudhole. Sean was so tired that he didn't have any fun at all, and fell asleep on a camping chair while we were striking camp. Poor little guy. I guess we just played too hard.
