Ipswich Sept 09


Carl and Jo had an awesome 10 day Daddy / Daughter trip back east at the end of Sept. They had wonderful visits with Grampy George, Nana Nichols, Uncle Todd, Great Grampy and Great Grandma Judy. They got to see many friends also.
I need to have Carl's phone to get the rest of the pictures he took. I will add them to this link when I get them.
Mom survived at home, passing the time hiking, biking, waterskiing, working a little, and MISSING MY LOVES! It's so great to have them home. I am so proud of Carl for doing such a great job and very proud of Jo for being a good girl.

Labor Day 09 Bellevue and Stuart Island

We're back from an excellent but quick trip to Bellevue and spent most of our time at Stuart Island with the entire Paul crew plus some. Jo enjoyed her first trip to the zoo with Mary, Jennifer and Cate when we got back from Canada.

A slew of pics: http://picasaweb.google.com/kellseyp/LaborDay09?authkey=Gv1sRgCMD8qdz9iaj2Ww#

Today we went up to the Big Mountain and Carl got to finally ride the Zip lines that he built, Jo and I hiked and took pictures.


Then we rode the Alpine Slide a couple of times, very fun. Leaving the slide was such sweet sorrow:(

Updated Carole Mama visit

Wow, I can't believe our three weeks with Carole Mama is coming to an end. It's gone by so fast! David arrived on Sunday and they leave today (Monday) for a Glacier/Waterton/Banff adventure. Here are more pictures of the fun we have had - hiking, swimming, fun fun.

Another major bonus was Mommy's Day Off, I got to go hiking in Glacier with friends Brenda and Ellen, and new friends Erin (Ellen's friend) and Larry (Brenda's father-in-law). We had a spectacular day, the hike was to Firebrand Pass in the southeast corner of the park. Great friends, lots of laughs, gorgeous day and wildflowers, I loved every minute.

Jo's first Hike!

Betty's back and we went on Jo's first hike on the Trail of the Cedars in Glacier National Park.


Such a trooper, walked most of the way and enjoyed throwing rocks in the river and lake. We had a nice picnic and made it home for naptime and a huge thunderstorm that rolled through late afternoon.
