6 months in...

Wow hard to believe its been 6 months already.  We spent Saturday evening at the Giants game up in Denver with Josh and Shawna.  I was able to get some club level tickets from work so we were high class for the evening.  It rained and we were able to escape to the suite area.  The Giants were generous and graciously lost to their host 8-2.  

We certainly looked good in our Giants gear.

Getting pictures early in the game was crucial as the rain rolled in early.

With the big 6 month mark came another trip to the doctor.  The latest stats are 17 lbs 3 oz landing him in the 67th percentile, 27 1/8 inches long putting him in the 88th percentile, and a 17 1/8 inch head finishing in the 58th percentile.  We are excited as hopefully he will get the Townsend height that eluded my dad and I.  Other than that the doctor is happy with his motor skill development.  All in all a good trip.

Our Camping Adventure

Happy belated 4th of July to every and happy belated birthday to Poppa who shares his day with the country's. We packed up and headed up to Deep Lake Campground. Its about 5 hours from the Springs with no traffic so it took us a bit longer to get there thanks to traffic and broken down truck drivers. All in all it was a fun trip. We got to fish and I took Chrystal to see where the boys went elk hunting last year. Spencer was a trooper and did really well.


Those mountain mornings can be a bit chilly!


The valley where we fished and I hunted last fall.


Spencer's first hiking experience thanks to a Father's Day present from Nana.


Chrystal gave it her all with the salmon eggs and the powerbait.


Spencer let us know when he was done fishing with this face.

The camping version of tummy time.

While waiting out some rain Spencer practiced driving.


The reason we left.

We spent Friday night under the stars and after fishing on Saturday we sat through a rain storm in the car and tent. While everything was drying out we noticed another storm a brewing. Chrystal went with her gut feeling and gave me the pack it up idea and we got out of dodge just before it hit. Good thing too because it was a bad one.
