Happy Labor Day! Todd and Chris headed out on the backcountry trails behind our house, and 8 miles later, they feel they had explored quite a lot of the "road less traveled." They found 3 horned toad (I keep calling them horny toads and it drives Chris crazy ;) ) . Can't believe the summer is coming to an end, however, we have broken the record of hottest August ever. Ready for some cooler temps...like 75 degrees and sunshine...I would be happy with that weather way into November.
Todd made it to the top of the world...or at least to the top of Mt. Sherman. He took over 250 pictures of his trek up the 14er and back down again. I don't think I ever see him happier and more "kidlike" than when get goes out and does this kind of thing. I hope he can do more of this and that he can enjoy that feeling he gets when he reaches the top.
Zach took this photo of Todd the other night. This is a typical scene in the evenings as Todd watches his DVR recordings....either "Modern Marvels", "Nova" or "This Old House" is typical. He sure is enjoying our new tv.
ARTIST AT WORK...Todd is painting the book cover for dad's upcoming book publication and it is beyond brilliant. I am quite sure that we will have it framed and hanging somewhere of great importance. It would be a perfect 70th birthday gift for my dad this summer...just a hint ;). I continue to help him with formatting the chapters, working on the photos and general work to get it all ready. It's an amazing story and it will be so great to see it all in final format. The book cover is definitely a perfect piece of work and Todd does an amazing job.
