Bullhead City Regatta 2014

Soon after Eric got home from Minnesota we headed to Laughlin for the Regatta with Robb, Julie, Ames, Macky and Gabby.  It was once again a great trip and a beautiful day!

40,000 people floating down 9 miles.

Launch site.

A week of Ty

While Eric and the boys were in the Boundary Waters Ty and I had some fun of our own.  We went to Dodger Stadium to see my Cubs play the Dodgers, the Cubs lost in 12 innings.  

Do you see my traitor with his Dodger shirt??

It was a beautiful, hot night and Kerri got us great seats.  

I went home Sunday afternoon and Ty joined Kerri, Niko and Roman for a week long trip to San Francisco.  Lucky Boy!!!

They hit up the must-sees in SF.

Monterey Bay Aquarium.

Sushi dinner for this kid.

They went on a safari north of the city, this was Ty's highlight of the trip. 

And of course, Chinatown. 

Cruising.

He also thought the Exploratorium was bomb.

And today, 1st day of 6th grade.  He'll be going to school with dad every day for the next 3 years.  I can't believe my baby is in middle school!!! He is an awesome kid with great compassion and a wicked sense of humor, we are so proud of him!!!

BWCA 2014

The trip to the Boundary Waters this year was Luke, Mason, Eric, Zach, Brad and Tony.  The boys loved every minute.

They had great weather, enough fish to eat well every night, no bears or moose, some funny stories and lots of bad words.  It's what they look forward too!!

Camp.

Breakfast of pancakes with fresh raspberries off the trail.

A swim or a shower, same thing. 

No TV, video games, etc for 6 days and having the most fun ever while learning so much they can't from books...priceless. 

Mace and the Godfather discussing life. 

Besties.  Thanks again guys for the wonderful memories!!! 

They get along so well, true twins and so much fun to be around....at least I think so.

Maybe this picture isn't the best example of brotherly love.  But I know they do love each other so.
