Lesson: Poetry jams good way to learn about a kid's soul

Birch's Video: My Soul- What am I - a dragon flying high in the sky!!!  (probably red)

Travel: America Overload LEGOLAND and SEAWORLD- with fun!

David two weeks in Gabon so me and kids head off to a similar landscape hahaha.  My parents came with us so the kids could see the ver desired and talked about LegoLand.  Actually lots of cool stuff, miniland was great.  took wolves made of lego pic for our favorite TZ wolf lover and her sis??? who could that be.  Fun rides with lots of wed undies for the day.

Looks like Popi- Cole said.  Birch imitating me breaking the new law in Missoula with cell phones that he reminds me of every day.


Rides with Papa and Nana

Favorite  Star wars creatures

Cole said it would suck to have to hold your hands like legoman all day.

Shamu……Front row splash zone a favorite for the boys. 

Behind the scenes science tour- but worth the money.


This 3000 pound old walrus is slimy… All his whiskers have blood supply and nerves like 400 little fingers.

And Cole's favorite:

Travel : Canyonlands in Utah for spring break

Dunes like Oman…

Crazy 4 wheel drive road that broke our truck eventually-  expensive camping when  you are towed to Moab.

Petroglyphs   and arches.

First camp site in Needles. 

Second camp site with sundowners

Kids doing projects in am with cocoa

Joint trail with hall of karyns..

Brotherly love

Travel: February In Montana- or not Montana….

I like ski time in the sun-  but I need to get away for warmth…

Off to MX with family.  Beach time with cousins and sunburned day one because we did not learn a darn thing about sun and skin.  When Birch has his skin cancer removed everyone remind me.

Heading to Espiritu Santos for camping.  Cole still wears his fast suit  ( speedo ).

Our camp site.  I miss Africa tends with colonial furniture- but these were great.

Paddle boarding, kayaking and swimming with sea lions.

Typical Cole nap in Kayak.  David harassing sea lions and gets bit and takes a pic- no skin broken like on Aunt Rebecca.

Family photos

Mt Kilimanpoop named by the kids and sacrificial alter to for dead fish to the sea birds.  I have never seen Birch whack a fish on the rock to kill it when it was only half alive like that before.  “ Putting it out of its misery before the sacrifice.”  - All circle of life. 

Lots of great days on this trip.
