At the Burlington, VT airport. The boys are already
tired of traveling and we haven't even left yet. |
The Blanton guys all wake up for a photo at the airport
before we go. How blessed we are to have such a wonderful Christmas
vacation! |

New toys |
We installed a 6'6" slide for everyone to enjoy. |
Since this photo we have filled the landscaping in with
rocks. |
We have waited a long time to have another Jeep. |
David surprised Cathy with this awesome vehicle. |
Now all four of us can go out and enjoy a beautiful clear
evening. |

Colorado Trip Summer 2002 |
This was a contortionist we saw on Pearl St. |
He actually fit his whole body in this box. |
This guy was rally funny. Here he was walking on a
ladder. |
On a unicycle. |
Did you see that snake? |
Uncle Mark took us to an airshow. |
And, the stealth bomber made an appearance. Cool! |
I think this was an F16. We were right behind it. |
The highlight was watching the Blue Angels! |
Awesome formation! |
Amazing how close the are to one another. |
This plane flew right over us. Not much of a photo,
but you can tell how close it was. |
Neat spiral manuver. |
Spencer in the Blahnik's side yard. |
This was taken on the roadside at Boulder Falls. |
We love our Aunt Dee! |
Pretty neat natural rock formation. |
Michael and Dee. |
These are the Boulder Falls. |
Dee and Cathy stop for Michael to take a picture. |
This mountain top was on fire a few years ago.
Still no trees yet. |
Michael and Spencer on the Brass Frog at Pearl Street. |
One day trip was to Estes Park. This is a tram we
rode on. |
And this is the view from the top. |
The boys stopped to look out the binoculars. |
Dee and Cathy |
There are thousands of squirrels up there. |
And they love for you to and feed them. |
The boys were thrilled. |
Incredible views! |
Michael and Spencer had a great day! |
Dee and Cathy at the Rio. |
Another day we drove to Rocky Mountain National Park. |
It was in the 90's in town and up at the top of the park
it was about 67. |
The scenery was spectacular! And, the had a
really neat gift shop. |
This was so beautiful . |
Awwwww! |
Back to Pearl Street. The boys with a 14 point buck
statue. |
A trip to the aquarium. |
We could have spent all day watching the Sea Otters.
Here he has his paw in his mouth. |
Dee and Cathy in front of the shark tank. |
Spencer said the aquarium was "fascinating. |
The big shark. |
"blub, blub, blub..." |
OH NO... |
Then, he got Michael, too... |
Off to see the tigers. |
Looks like he could jump right on the boys. |
Here kitty, kitty... |
He sits up for a portrait. |
The day we left the boys wanted pics with Ryan... |
... and Josh. |
Josh, his friends, and Michael and Spencer. |
