M on the Trail

M and I, and the guys from the Thursday night crew went for a ride in Tacoma. M was excited to be riding with the big guys.

New Bridge

This is a new bridge on the bike path between Buckley and South Prairie.

Easter Egg Hunt

The boys lined up with a million other kids for the annual Easter Egg Hunt. It was a crazy free for all and it was over in about 60 seconds!

Cacti

More from Phoenix.

Wispy Palms and Cactus

This was from our trip to Phoenix.

Phoenix Zoo

The orangutans were very endearing because they acted like a family, the little one was hugging the mother. The cheetahs are one of my favorites! I was happy with my picture, especially considering it is from the zoo.

Gophers

These little guys were pretty frisky.

Junior Home Run in Peoria

It was fun to get a close-up look the Mariners. It's cool to have Ken Junior back. I would have liked to have gotten the moment after the hit, rather than before. Oh, well. A burst of shots would have been a good idea. Junior seemed pretty bored at this game, even the home run didn't get a rise out of him.

Karen Acting Goofy

Sometimes Karen likes to walk like a model on the runway, this is at the end of that super-model-walking.

Old People Can't Jump

M and B were good at the jumps, but Karen and I found it a lot harder than it looked! (Yet another sign that we are getting old.)

Riding a Camel at the Phoenix Zoo

Generally M is a bit apprehensive about animals, especially large ones, but he didn't hesitate with the camel. It was really nice that he went with B.

Flying Home

I thought the light coming in and hitting the cup of Coke was pretty cool.

Goggles

It was nice to spend time at the pool. The boys like their goggles, but they can be tricky getting on and off. It was snowing and raining back home while we were in Scottsdale.

Downtown Scottsdale

The boys were melting as we were exploring downtown Scottsdale, we found an ice cream shop though!

Photography

The boys were having fun using our little camera. They were chasing jack rabbits and all sorts of things.

Family Balance

At the Cottonwoods Resort in Phoenix. The boys liked doing the "parcourse", which was a running and exercise course around the complex. It was about .85 mile. The boys ran, stopped for exercises then ran again. It was good for me, the old runner, to see them running. They haven't been interested in running before.
