Family pictures at American Basin
American Basin is a GORGEOUS place 20 miles or so - but close to an hour drive in a 4x4 - away from Lake City. It was SUPER cold, but we braved the cold to take these pictures. It was a pretty bumpy ride up and back, but somehow the little man took a nap. What a trooper. Don't be surprised if you see these again on our Christmas cards.

Family Vacation pictures
The cabin was perfect size with a perfect deck. The weather was perfect - sometimes hot and sometimes cold and rainy. We had fun laughing at stories and each other. I had a great birthday shopping and eating gourmet pizza and playing cards.
Patrick enjoyed the new adventure of the mountains and the forest. We would talk about what animals were in the forest. He tried to tell us there were giraffes in the forest. In addition to his adventures to find pinecones and flowers, he loved to throw his football down the mountain and then go get it. He really was a good little mountain man.
If you have a sec, Google "Alferd Packer." He is a notorious cannibal from Lake City. Our cabin was less than a quarter mile from the "Alferd Packer site." The whole town (all 315 of them) is obsessed with the cannibal. I thought it was kinda funny, but everyone else thought it was pretty creepy.

First week of swim school
The tie "noodle knots" around their waists to let them really swim. You have to look close in this picture, but you can see him all the way across the pool in the green noodle. they swam all the way across and back, widthwise, in this Olypmic regulation pool. That's pretty far for a 3 year old. That'd be far for me! (But that's not saying all that much.)
Patrick really enjoyed his first week of swim lessons. I am glad we got him into a "class setting." He likes to have Danny's undivided attention like he likes to have our undivided attention. He is having to learn to "share the spotlight."

More surprises for the BIRTHDAY GAL
Flowers from Josh & Meghan (on the table.) And Patrick greeted her with the yellow flowers (behind her ear) when she drive up in the drive-way. What a way to win Doodah's heart!
Here are 'THE GALS." Usually you can find them making "kissy-faces" but this evening it was just good friends and good conversations. Except for the **** discussion . . . hee hee
Dad surprised Mom with dinner at the house with the Jackson's. He cooked dinner for Mom - pan seared beef fillets with tomatoes and purple onions, and baked potatoes. But she wanted to make the salad. Good Man that Rick is, he played with Patrick while Dad cooked and Mom and I were with the ladies!
I hope I am THIS happy and have THIS good of friends when I am 53 years old! LOVE YOU, MOM!!!

Patrick's First Day of "Swim School"
Today was Patrick first swim lesson - or swim school as we have been calling it. He was a little hesitant at first, but then he was psyched about it. Today he was the first to volunteer for everything and then wanted it "again! again!" Then he was easily distracted while it was the others' turns. I am excited to see him progress the next 2 weeks. Right now he is saying the water is "too big."
