our internet is healed, and pretty views

Well, I said I was going to post these yesterday, but it seems our area's internet was not internetting so well yesterday.  It's been fixed and now we all have our internet back.  A small part of me wants to hug the computer, but that seems a little foolish, maybe if it had been two days, not just one.

Anyhoo, here are a couple of pictures from the reservoir last weekend with Gathering friends. It was a fun day of bocce, grilling, taking turns walking in the water with Naomi, and Ultimate Frisbee.

My camera doesn't quite capture the mtns in the distance, 
but in real life, it was a very pretty view:

Actually, just one picture from the reservoir, I couldn't get anymore to load.

Moving on.

Here are a few from the Springs, hiking with the Knipps:

On our way down the mtn Gabe and Janae decided we were going to slow, and the best remedy was for Gabe to give Janae a piggy back ride down the trail as fast as he could go.  They disappeared from sight for quite awhile (I couldn't get the picture of them galloping away to load either), and this is where we found them when we finally caught up:





Trying our best to look awkward around each other:


Were you listening for something, Vickie?

So, that was our weekend.  This weekend we're getting ready for Nate and Jen's visit.  They arrive Monday.  I think we'll take them camping or hiking, and go on the Coor's tour (which I've still never done after living here for seven years).  Two and a half more days of school!!!!!  That thought keeps barging in on any and all other thoughts I have.  

Enjoy your Friday, everyone!

Great pics honey, how are your heels these days after the duct tape-infection-rawness you went through? Let me know about the Hoffritz S'more Maker. Peter's done with wk 4 and doing well, 2 to go. Love you, Mom

the pictures are beautiful!!! I love the mountains....unfortunately, I'm just a flatlander though! :) The pics of the knipps hiking reminds me of our hikes we took in hawaii almost 10 years ago!!! I can't believe it's been that long!! Someday I'll make it out there and maybe you and Gabe can teach me the art of backpacking, until then, I'll load the bus and go! Happy hiking!!

Since I can no longer hike or walk very far because of my back I have to live it through others and I would have loved that hike. It shows the crisp clean air that only is visible in the west. Colorado, Utah, Idaho and New Mexico are my favorite states. There is so much natural beauty like what is shown in you pics.
