Catching up

A little while back there was a free day at all National parks and Monuments so we went and hiked down the monument closest to us. This is the view from the top. There were three strollers along so...we only hiked down!Grandma B. sent Holden some little boy toys so here he is opening them up!
After a long day out with Daddy Holden must have missed his sister. He went and got his Tractor House magazine and sat down with his hand on Heidi.

Caught mommy watching!

Trying to catch a smile!

Just keepin' Momma busy!

Crop Dusting

This is what has been flying over our house lately. It is so much fun to watch. This field he was spraing has powerlines at both ends! We could not see exactly what he did at the south end of the field but at the north end he was flying under the powerlines! Doesn't this look like fun!?
