For Connor's 9th Birthday...

...we took a trip up to the Coronado National Memorial in the mountains. We had a great time and the younger ones all enjoyed wearing the chain mail. :)

Here's a picture of the view on the way home...

Samuel helping Daddy look for rocks...

Tobias was thrilled when he found "Tree Stars"! If you have ever watched the Land Before Time movies you'll know what he's talking about. :)

And, here is Alyssa thinking about a dear friend we lost two weeks ago. He loved coming up to the mountains and it made her sad to be up there...

Isn't he handsome? Caleb loves having his picture taken - NOT! That's why he's not looking at the camera but I actually love the way it turned out.

Just love this one of Larry and Samuel!

And, here's another handsome young man...our little Lukie. Although, he's not so little anymore.

Connor loves his new mp3 player - my kids and their music. Just like Daddy. :)
